Celebrating the great achievement of UAE's Mars Mission, which is known as the 'Hope Probe' and is set to arrive on the Red Planet Tuesday, Jordan lit up its famous landmarks in Amman in red. 

The Roman Theater, Abdoun Bridge, the Royal Hotel, Wakalat Street and the advertising screens of the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) will be covered in red starting 5pm Monday until 12am Wednesday.

The Emirati "Al-Amal," or Hope probe, the first Arab exploration flight of its kind, is expected to reach the orbit of Mars Tuesday, making it the first of three missions to reach the red planet this month.

The UAE, China and the United States launched missions to Mars last July, taking advantage of a space positioning conducive to sending a new batch of search mechanisms into orbit or to the surface of the most interesting planet in the solar system.

If the mission succeeds, the wealthy Gulf state, which this year celebrates its 50th birthday, will become the 5th country in the world to reach Mars, while China will become the sixth the next day.

Ahead of the expected date, the UAE lit its landmarks red at night, and government accounts on social media put up a picture of the "Hope" probe, while the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, was preparing for a huge festive show.

Unlike the other two Mars projects, the Chinese "Taeunwin-1" and the American "Mars 2020," the Emirati probe will not land on the Red Planet, but rather it will orbit around it for a full Martian year, equivalent to 687 days.

Only the United States, India, the former Soviet Union and the European Space Agency have successfully sent missions into the orbit of the Red Planet.
