The Dubai Crown Prince is seen climbing to the top and then posing for the camera against the breathtaking backdrop of Downtown Dubai at night.

This is the second time Sheikh Hamdan has scaled the Burj Khalifa. In 2013, he posed with the UAE flag on top of the world’s tallest tower to celebrate Dubai winning the bid to host World Expo in 2020. The Expo will be held this year in 300 days’ time after COVID-19 prompted a rescheduling of the event from 2020 to 2021.
