Abu Dhabi buildings light up to mark UAE's 'Year of the 50th'

Several buildings and road signboards in Abu Dhabi lit up to celebrate the UAE’s 'Year of the 50th'.

The logo was splashed across the facade of the buildings, just a day after the UAE President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan declared 2021 as "Year of the 50th".

"Let’s work together to imagine and build the next 50 years," the message from the Abu Dhabi Media Office read, along with #UAE50.
