With the pandemic looming above us, travelling back home isn’t an option for many of us this festive season.

BUT Dubai has taken it upon itself to ensure that not even one expat here feels homesick this Diwali, 2020. Celebrating the auspicious festival of lights that celebrates new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness, in the grandest way possible, Dubai treated the Indian community and all those celebrating to quite a show across Dubai.

SPECTAC displays of fireworks beamed across the Dubai skies and even the Burj Khalifa put up a heartwarming message on the occasion of the Hindu festival (also celebrated by Jains and Sikhs).

Dubai was a sight for sore eyes this weekend and here are just some of the wonderful captures that will have you in awe of this city and its residents!
