Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum has scaled the Burj Khalifa on Saturday evening.
The Crown Prince of Dubai said, “828 meters of excitement ??? #burjkhalifa…”
A video shared on Instagram showed Sheikh Hamdan making his way to the top through cylindrical top structure of the tower.
The video garnered almost 500,000 views on Instagram in an hour.
This is the second time the Dubai Crown Prince has scaled the Burj Khalifa.
Sheikh Hamdan climbed the 160-storey tower, displaying the Emarati flag on top of Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower on November 25, 2013 as part of a campaign that Dubai launched to win the 2020 World Expo.
An image shared by the personal photographer Sheikh Hamdan on Nov. 28, 2013 showed the Dubai Crown Prince gesturing as he wears a t-shirt bearing the logo of Dubai's 2020 World Expo campaign on top of Burj Khalifa.
Dubai beat off opposition from Brazil, Russia and Turkey on Nov.27, to win the right to host the 2020 World Expo, sparking celebrations in the Gulf city and a stunning fireworks display at the world's tallest building.
Hamdan is an avid lover of nature and animals. He shares breathtaking photographs and videos of his whereabouts on Instagram.
