His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai has just shared a very cool Instagram post in honour of UAE Flag Day.
The video shows hundreds of flags on Kite Beach in Dubai as a drone zig-zags in between before displaying the iconic Dubai landmark – Burj Al Arab. The drone then soars into the air to show the UAE flags forming the face of UAE President, HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. In the background, we hear the UAE National anthem.
