Two of the UAE's most notable buildings honoured Lebanon by lighting up with the country's flag on Friday night.
Lebanon's 76th Independence Day on November 22 comes after anti-government protests have gripped the country for more than a month, since October 16.
It is often quoted that around 150,000 Lebanese nationals live in the UAE, and on Friday night the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai, was cloaked in an illuminated Lebanese flag, while the Adnoc Headquarters building in Abu Dhabi was also emblazoned with a cedar tree. The country's national emblem, the cedar tree sits in the middle of the national flag, symbolising longevity and peace.
MBC's Huda Yassine tweeted an image of the two buildings, writing, "thank you UAE".
