The landmark illuminated during Dubai's famous New Year's Eve fireworks and LED displays is Burj Khalifa.
Burj Khalifa, in Downtown Dubai, has served as the centerpiece of the emirate's major New Year's Eve spectacle. Its exterior lighting systems can display large-scale patterns and images across the world's tallest building, while fireworks and effects surround the tower and nearby lake.
The skyscraper opened in 2010 and reaches 828 metres to its architectural top. Its height makes it visible across much of central Dubai, helping turn the building into a natural focal point for televised celebrations. The event is coordinated with surrounding attractions such as The Dubai Mall and Dubai Fountain.
Burj Al Arab is another internationally famous Dubai landmark, but it is a sail-shaped hotel rather than the tower used as the central vertical screen. The New Year's display associated with the record-setting tower is centered on Burj Khalifa.
