 World's highest NYE fireworks show in Dubai

Fireworks lighten up the Burj Khalifa to celebrate the coming New Year

 Thousands of residents gathered in Downtown Burj Khalifa to watch the spectacular show. Mark that down as another record for Dubai.

The shiny emirate will host the world’s highest fireworks display this New Year’s Eve when the Burj Khalifa is lit up at a gala event to ring in 2011.

A huge crowd turned up to watch the New Year fireworks
 display at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Developers Emaar Properties promise to provide visitors with an unprecedented spectacle aimed at elevating the city to the league of the world’s most sought-after destinations for New Year’s Eve.



The tower already holds the record for the world's highest fireworks display - registered when it was officially inagurated on January 4, 2010. The emirate also recorded the world's biggest fireworks display in November 2008, when real estate developer Nakheel threw a lavish party to mark the opening of its Atlantis Hotel on The Palm Jumeirah. 

The party to bid goodbye to 2010 begins with large television panels around the tower beaming in New Year’s Eve celebrations from around the world, followed by a sound and light show set to world music at the Dubai Fountain, the world’s tallest performing fountain.
A countdown will then be displayed on large television panels before a show of lasers, fireworks and lights illuminates the tower.

Celebrations are set to continue well into the early hours of the morning, with The Dubai Fountain performing continuously to a range of music. And party lovers can then head to At The Top, the world’s highest outdoor observation deck.
