What is the name of the New Year's Eve fireworks display held at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai?

The story behind the answer

The New Year’s Eve fireworks and light spectacle at Dubai’s Burj Khalifa is known as Emaar NYE.

Emaar NYE is organized by Emaar Properties, the developer associated with Burj Khalifa and much of Downtown Dubai. The event projects lights and visual effects onto the skyscraper while fireworks and music build the midnight celebration.

Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest building, reaching 828 metres including its antenna. Its height and central location make it a natural centerpiece for a large public countdown, with views extending across Downtown Dubai and the surrounding city.

The program’s exact creative elements can change from year to year, so descriptions such as “Burj Khalifa fireworks” identify the location but not always the official event title. Emaar NYE is the branded name used for the celebration in official event coverage.
