The Dubai Dino, a 155-million-year-old fossil of a Diplodocus Longus, is displayed at the Dubai Mall. This dinosaur, known for its long neck and tail, once roamed the Earth during the Jurassic period. What makes it special is that it's one of the most complete fossils ever discovered, with nearly all its bones intact.
Excavated in Wyoming, USA, the fossil was carefully transported to Dubai, where it was reassembled and put on display. Measuring an impressive 25 meters (82 feet) long, the Dubai Dino offers a rare and remarkable glimpse into the distant past, making it one of the most well-preserved dinosaur fossils in the world.
