Sheikh Mohammed Meets Boy Who Went Viral for Loving Burj Khalifa

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has met with Kuwaiti boy, Badr, who went viral for loving Burj Khalifa.

Sheikh Mohammed can be seen holding Badr's hand and having a conversation with him and his brother.

In another photo, the kids are seated on either side of Sheikh Mohammed. 

Back in July, Badr said in a media interview that he wanted to visit Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.

The video of the Kuwaiti boy had gone viral on social media, answering a question on video by Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas about a place he wanted to visit with his father.

Badr and his family were actually at the airport on their way to the UAE to spend the Eid al-Adha break.

The boy said that he knew many things about Burj Khalifa as he watched programmes about the monument on TV at home. 

"I will see Burj Khalifa and spend four nights in Dubai," he said.
