As Dubai opened its doors to tourists, the city’s iconic landmark put up a spectacular show for its visitors.

The Burj Khalifa lit up in shades of bright pink, purple and blue, with "Welcome Back" messages splashed across its 829.8-metre-long facade in Arabic and English.

The video, posted on the Dubai Media Office Twitter handle, captured people, donning their face masks and and recording the moment on their cameras.
