Short rationale:
Wild Wadi, one of Dubai’s most popular attractions, had to close for two weeks for maintenance. It was essential to alert tourists of the closure, in order to save them a wasted journey. This ambient advertisement, measuring two metres high, was placed at strategic points throughout the city during the closing period.
