Which skyscraper is famous for New Year's Eve fireworks in Dubai?

Burj Khalifa is the Dubai skyscraper famous for New Year's Eve fireworks and light shows.

The tower opened in 2010 in the center of Downtown Dubai and remains the world's tallest building, with an architectural height of 828 meters. Its height, tapering form, and prominent position beside the Dubai Mall make it a natural focal point for large public countdown events.

Dubai's New Year's Eve celebrations have used fireworks, synchronized lighting, lasers, and multimedia presentations on or around the tower. The exact program varies by year, and some editions emphasize a light-and-laser production rather than relying only on conventional fireworks. Crowds also gather around the nearby Burj Lake and surrounding boulevards.

Burj Khalifa was originally called Burj Dubai during construction. Its name changed at the official opening in honor of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, then president of the United Arab Emirates. The building's record height is separate from the size of any one New Year's display.
