The UAE is unique in that it’s a country made up of a majority of expat residents, many of whom call the country home.

And year-on-year, the UAE continues to welcome its residents with an important, and major gesture… supporting national days and Independence Days or its residents by hosting flags on the iconic Burj Khalifa.

Monday, September 16 marked Mexican Independence Day and the Burj Khalifa did just that, and now the images are not only being shared in Dubai but internationally.
