Dubai: Celebrated British presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were welcomed to Dubai with a huge projection onto the world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa.
The journalists-cum-TV presenters, who previously co-presented the motoring show Top Gear on BBC for over a decade, have arrived in the city for the final studio recording of their latest hit show, The Grand Tour on Amazon Video.
Renowned for its unrivalled hospitality, Dubai has pulled out all of the stops for its VIP guests, with the projection showing cars racing up the building before revealing the presenters themselves — Clarkson, Hammond and May — in all their glory onto the tallest screen in the world.
Burj Khalifa stands at 828 metres high — that’s the equivalent height of 487 Richard Hammonds, Dubai Tourism said in a press release on Sunday.
The celebrity trio has been travelling the world filming the first series of The Grand Tour in far-flung locations across the globe. The team has already taken the show’s mobile studio — a giant tent — to Johannesburg, California, Whitby, Rotterdam, Lapland, Stuttgart, Nashville and Scotland. For its final stop the studio will be pitched at the base of Burj Khalifa, located in the heart of Downtown Dubai.
