Will Smith has once again shared his love of the UAE on Instagram, this time while visiting the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

The 50-year-old actor posted a selfie from the tallest building in the world saying that thousand of years from now people would look up at the super structure and wonder how was it built.

“A thousand years from now, humans are gonna look at the Burj Khalifa the same way we look at the Pyramids....like "How the hell did they build that?"" he said.

"But then they'll just look it up on YouTube."

Earlier this week, the fresh prince was also seen out and about in Dubai. He was spotted getting a haircut in Box Park run by UAE music personality DJ Bliss and posted a photo of himself perched in a bathroom on the 154th floor the Burj Khalifa looking out over the city.

Smith is a regular visitor to the Emirates. His previous trips have seen him skydiving, rapping at Barasti, enjoying a desert safari, dune-buggying and generally living Dubai life to the full.
