When Will Bailey stepped off a plane in Dubai in the early hours of Saturday morning, it was supposed to mark a new chapter in his life.
The fitness influencer from the UK had made the trip with the intention of relocating his coaching business there and securing residency.
But within 24 hours of his arrival, he was documenting Iranian missile attacks on some of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)'s most exclusive and iconic neighbourhoods.
"That was metres away from us," he said in a video posted to Instagram, showing thick plumes of dark smoke rising from what he said was the area of one of Dubai's most prestigious hotels, Fairmont the Palm in the luxurious Palm Jumeirah.
Bailey said he was badly shaken after witnessing the incident which authorities said led to a fire that injured four people.
