A sukkah was built in front of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai on Thursday ahead of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, according to KAN news.

The gesture follows signing of a normalization agreement between Israel, the UAE and Bahrain on September 15, which was brokered by the Trump administration.
Many have speculated that there will be additional deals made between Israel and Arab states, with Oman expected to be the next to sign. US President Donald Trump has hinted that there are talks currently taking place with a number of nations.
Since the normalization agreement was made, several UAE ministers have greeted Israelis for the High Holy Days using Twitter and other means.
Khaleej Times, the UAE's first and leading English daily newspaper, published a large Rosh Hashanah feature.
The publication's Rosh Hashanah section had kosher recipes and an explanation of the Jewish calendar, as well as an article on tolerance and another on technology. Towards the end of the section, there was a calendar of Jewish holidays with their dates on both the Gregorian and Hebrew calendars, as well as descriptions not only of their themes but detailing whether observant Jews work or not.
