This is not the first time Dubai's Burj Khalifa has been in the news. Recently, Burj Khalifa was lit up with the picture of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern paying respects to her the manner in which she stood with the community after a white supremacist killed 50 Muslim worshippers in a mosque in Christchurch.
