Enter 2015, and there was a rush of joy in Dubai with the night sky lit up in a kaleidoscope of colours, the world’s tallest building once again at the centre of celebrations. All eyes turned on the city with spectacular fireworks at different venues setting the stage to welcome the year in style.
Counting down to midnight, millions of people watched the show as the 828-metre Burj Khalifa turned into an illuminated screen. Laser beams lit up the entire Downtown Dubai neighbourhood in a spell-binding hue with The Dubai Fountain dancing to rhythms of world music.
“With the festive event, we are underlining the positivity of Dubai, a city that brings hope, cheer and optimism to people in the region and across the world,” said Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director of Emaar Properties.
The magnificent fireworks atop the Burj Khalifa served as a perfect backdrop for the celebration which used some of the world’s most advanced pyrotechnics and LED technology.
The New Year’s Eve Gala, by global developer Emaar Properties, was split over a breath-taking six part firework, laser and light show that swept through Downtown Dubai, while the LED screen wrapped around Burj Khalifa created the world’s brightest illuminations to date.
Setting yet another Guinness World Record — the LED projections displayed full colour animated video images. The visual display, a rich tribute to Dubai, its leadership, and the UAE’s 43 years of impressive achievements on the Burj Khalifa LED screen, created a magical and unforgettable experience for spectators before and after the much-awaited countdown.
“The Downtown Dubai New Year’s Eve Gala has defined its credentials in a short span of time as the world’s most-watched New Year’s Eve spectacle surpassing the visitor turnout at celebrations in New York, Sydney and London. With visitors from all over the world arriving to join in the festivities, the event has become a defining spectacle that adds to the pride of Dubai,” added Ahmad… see more
