The Indian tricolour will be displayed every hour for UAE residents to admire and enjoy, according to the Dubai-based real estate development company Emaar.
"The Indian flag will be showcased on Burj Khalifa tonight every hour from 7.15pm to 11.15pm," an Emaar representative was quoted as saying by the Khaleej Times.
The light show will coincide with prime minister Modi's second state visit to the UAE. Modi last visited the country in August 2015.
