"Burj Khalifa lights up in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Lebanon," a tweet read.
"Our condolences to our beloved people in Lebanon! Oh God, have mercy on those who moved to you ... Oh God, the kindest of its people ... Oh God, give the people of Lebanon patience and solace," it added.
Two huge explosions rocked the Lebanese capital on Tuesday, killing and wounding several people.
Lebanon’s Prime Minister Hasan Diab has declared Wednesday a day of mourning, and President Michel Aoun called for "urgent" defense council talks.
