Burj Al Arab - one of the most recognisable landmarks on the UAE's skyline - will light up in blue to mark the first United Nations World Diabetes Day on Wednesday.
The iconic hotel will join over 160 of the world's most famous sites in lighting up in the blue colour of the diabetes circle, the global symbol for diabetes. Jumeirah Group and Dubai World Trade Centre are working together as part of the global fight against this major public health menace.
The light-up ceremony sees Dubai join the global community in publicly marking World Diabetes Day. The Sydney Opera House, one of the world's most famous landmarks, was one of the first buildings to join the World Diabetes Day campaign and agree to light up in blue.
Since then the campaign has been joined by a host of global landmarks, including the Sears Tower, Tokyo Tower, Niagara Falls, the Aleppo Citadel in Syria, the Obelisk in Buenos Aires, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the building currently considered the world's tallest: the Taipei 101 Tower in Taiwan.
