  • IN SHORT: A photo of impressive transport infrastructure and imposing buildings is not from Nanyuki in Kenya – or any other town in the African country. It shows Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. A photo doing the rounds on Facebook in Kenya shows a three-lane highway running parallel to an elevated rapid transit system and a huge building in the background. The photo has been posted with a claim that it shows part of Nanyuki, a town in Laikipia county in central Kenya. A rare photo of Nanyuki Town the media will never show you, one Facebook user captioned the photo. But does it show a view of Nanyuki or any other town in Kenya? We checked. Photo from Dubai A reverse image search of the photo led to a number of similar photos, all described as showing part of the transport infrastructure in Dubai , a city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates. The building in the background appears to be Atlantis, The Palm hotel, on the Palm Jumeirah island . The photo does not show any town in Kenya. (en)
