ABU DHABI – World’s tallest building Burj Khalifa lit up with Pakistan’s national flag, as the United Arab Emirates marked the South Asian nation’s Independence Day.
A clip of the skyscraper lit Pakistan’s colors was widely shared online as the 828 meters tall building turned white and green, but this year saw the iconic moment in a famous tourist attraction with delay, which brings people ire.
As the clock sets to midnight, Pakistanis flocked at the fountain area of Burj Khalifa to see the Pakistan flag, but to their surprise, the UAE landmark did not turn white and green.
