Spectacular fireworks light up Burj Khalifa

Hundreds of thousands of revellers bid goodbye to 2014 and welcomed 2015 with a bang under a canopy of spectacular fireworks, and a laser and light show in Downtown Dubai on Wednesday night.

As the clock struck midnight, the Burj Khalifa — the world’s tallest tower — was lit up by a six-part fireworks display apart from a laser and light show.

The fireworks display, which lasted for about 12 minutes, began with the LED display of the UAE National Flag on the facade of the Burj Khalifa.

The whole tower was draped with flashing colours, slowly going up and down the tower.
