Welcome to Dubai: Burj Khalifa greets tourists with stunning show
The first set of holiday makers landed at the Dubai International Airport on July 7.
Several holiday makers who made a beeline for Dubai as soon as it reopened to tourists on Tuesday are celebrating in the shadow of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. And tourists who made their way to the glitzy Dubai Downtown were wowed by an impressive ‘welcome back’ show on the skyscraper’s famed LED screen, which is the world’s largest as well.

The building lit up in an array of colours as it flashed ‘Welcome to Dubai’. A video tweeted by the Government of Dubai Media Office on Wednesday shows socially-distancing tourists taking selfies and photos of the impressive show. A couple of tourists in masks are seen dancing, while a family gives the victory sign.
The first set of holiday makers landed at the Dubai International Airport on July 7. On day one, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, headed to the airport to inspect all the safety precautions in place.
