Dubai is famous for New Year's Eve fireworks and light displays at the Burj Khalifa.
The Burj Khalifa is the world's tallest building, and its height and position in Downtown Dubai make it a dramatic centerpiece for the city's celebration. Displays may combine fireworks with synchronized lighting, projection, and music across the tower's facade.
The tower was inaugurated in January 2010 and was originally known during construction as Burj Dubai. It was renamed Burj Khalifa in honor of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates at the time of its inauguration.
Crowds gather around the Dubai Fountain and nearby public spaces to watch the event. The program can change from year to year, so references to fireworks should not be confused with a permanent technical feature of the building.
