Gender reveals — LIGHTS ON THE BURJ KHALIFA: Dubai influencers Anas and Asala Marwah took their gender reveal to new heights, literally, when they broadcast the sex of their second baby’s gender in lights on the world’s tallest tower. The couple reportedly did not know whether they were expecting a boy or girl as the Burj Khalifa flashed pink and blue in the build-up to the big reveal, before a countdown flashed up on the side of the building. When it reached zero, the whole tower turned blue and it read, "It's a boy!". Although the influential couple, who both have YouTube followers in the millions, reportedly did not pay for the announcement, it can be bought for Dh50,000-Dh100,000 depending on the time of day.

They got help from a local high school group, which regularly launched weather balloons into the outer atmosphere for experiments and projects. A parachute attached to the weather balloon opened at 108,000 feet above ground and revealed, “It’s a boy! Tesla Curtis!” Image Credit: Supplied
