The UAE Government Media Office has documented the second edition of the World's Coolest Winter campaign through the eyes of a visually impaired child.

The emotional uplifting film, "A Winter through My Eyes", released on social media, tells the story of 11-year-old Clara, who was flown to the UAE for her first trip abroad.

She got the chance to experience the country’s distinctive destinations and hospitality during the one-week long all-expenses paid trip across the seven Emirates.

A production crew documented Clara's emotions and journey into a compelling story that shows her unique, unfiltered, and authentic perspective.

Sharing her experience, Clara said, "This winter the UAE was the first country I’ve ever travelled to. And in one just week I’ve enjoyed an entire lifetime."

"You know what I learnt, when you really want to feel something, you don’t need to look with your eyes, you need to look with your heart. So, even if I cannot see, it’s everything I have felt here that has helped me see so much more," she added.
