- Streaks of colour light up the Burj Khalifa past midnight on January 1, 2012 in a pyrotechnic show to ring in the new year.
Dubai: Hundreds of thousands of people ushered in the New Year at Downtown Dubai as the colours of the UAE national flag lit the night sky and brilliantly draped the Burj Khalifa in an eight-minute fireworks display yesterday.
Standing 828 metres above the ground, the world's tallest building was illuminated in white, red, and green hues from top to bottom for the first time. The spectacular fireworks display was themed as a salute to the UAE for its 40 years of nationhood.
"The New Year's Celebrations 2012 is our tribute to the cosmopolitan spirit of Dubai. The spectacle has reiterated this global city's position as one of the most sought after destinations for New Year's celebrations," Ahmad Al Matroushi, Managing Director, Emaar Properties, said.
Residents and tourists alike revelled in the sea of light, with many saying last night's show was the best they had seen so far.
