A group of Indian tourists triggered outrage after a video showing them performing garba on the observation deck of Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa went viral on social media.

The short clip, shared by Dubai-based content creator The Walking Lens, shows the tourists dancing in a circle to the popular Gujarati song Chogada from the 2018 film Loveyatri.

“A viral video shows tourists dancing to the Chogada song on top of the iconic Burj Khalifa,” read the caption of the post shared on Instagram.

In the comments section of the now-viral video, social media users criticised the act as disrespectful, citing the inappropriateness of turning a global architectural landmark into a dance floor.

“Stop embarrassing the rest of us,” a user said while another added, “Why is this glorified? We must learn to respect the sanctity of public places.”

One of the users emphasised: “It’s not proper etiquette to do this in public areas, as other people might get disturbed. We have to respect that.”

Earlier this month, a group of Gujarati tourists in Austria were slammed after they insisted that local street performers play a Garba song so they could dance on a street.
