The countdown to the Special Olympics World Games is on and with the opening ceremony just (four!) days away, the Flame of Hope is travelling, on foot, to Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

The symbol of the games, the Flame of Hope, is lit in Athens, Greece where the Olympics originated before travelling to the organising city. And this weekend, crowds gathered to watch the flame pass through Dubai.<\/p>\n

Spirits were high for the Dubai leg of the run<\/h4>\n

The ?#FlameOfHope<\/a> shines bright along the shores of Dubai, on part of the 14km running track at Kite Beach. Don’t forget to cheer on the Guardians of the Flame if you’re at Kite Beach today! @moiuae<\/a> @letrforso<\/a> @dubaipolicehq<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/76ll86aN1f<\/a><\/p>\n
