Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on Thursday, displayed Kenya’s flag as the country marked Jamhuri Day celebrations.
Kenyans could not contain their joy and excitement as they shared photos and videos of the spectacular display on social media.
Some even went ahead to compare the building with KICC, suggesting that the latter should borrow a leaf, never mind the costs incurred.
You might wonder how much it costs to place an ad at the Burj Khalifa.

In case you want five three-minute displays between 7pm and midnight you will have to pay Sh27million.
