Which country hosts the annual New Year's Eve fireworks display at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai?

The country that hosts the annual New Year's Eve fireworks display at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the United Arab Emirates. Dubai's celebration centers on the world's tallest building and the surrounding Downtown Dubai district.

The Burj Khalifa opened in 2010 and quickly became a focal point for large-scale New Year's Eve productions. Displays have combined fireworks with choreographed LED illumination and, in some years, laser or projection effects. The exact format can change, and organizers may describe a particular year's program as a light show, fireworks display, or multimedia presentation.

Dubai is an emirate within the United Arab Emirates, which is why the country—not the city or the neighboring Gulf states—is the requested answer. The Burj Khalifa is located beside The Dubai Mall and the artificial lake containing the Dubai Fountain. These nearby landmarks often appear in television coverage of the celebration.
