00:00This morning I created a sand art as a send-off to the HOPE mission to Mars of the UAE.

00:13And it's a proud moment for the whole of the UAE and also for the whole of the Arab world.

00:20This is actually the second time that I created a sand art.

00:24The first time I created a sand art for Hassan al-Mansouri when he made it into the International

00:31Space Station.

00:32The artwork consists of the logo for the UAE mission to Mars and also I included the countdown

00:44of the Arabic and English numbers.

00:50And the size of the artwork is about 15 to 30 meters and it took me about five hours

00:59to create because I did it inside here, you know, so I have to make the sand wet and that

01:08took some time as well.

01:10So it's like a send-off from the sands of Dubai all the way to Mars.
