Why did this army tank storm into a Dubai mall?

A video showing an army tank storming into a Dubai mall has been widely watched on Instagram after being posted earlier this week.

Another video showed what appeared to be the same tank driving along a street in the emirate, being followed by a camera team and police escort.

While it hasn’t been made clear from Dubai Mall officials, social media users have speculated the scene will be used in an upcoming movie. Meanwhile, others believe this was part of an advert being filmed for British motoring icon Jeremy Clarkson’s show “The Grand Tour,” although this has not yet been confirmed.
