The World’s Tallest Tiranga: Burj Khalifa Lights up in Tricolour

This is how the UAE is celebrating India’s Republic Day.

The Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed Al Nahyan, arrived in India on 24 January. The Abu Dhabi Crown Prince, who is also the Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE armed forces, will be the Chief Guest at the Republic Day parade.

In honour of Republic Day, the Burj Khalifa has been illuminated in the colours of the Indian national flag. At almost 830 metres, the Burj Khalifa, in Downtown Dubai, is the tallest free-standing structure in the world.
