World’s largest fireworks display 2014 Dubai
On 31 December, the skyline of Dubai will be lit up with a host of impressive fireworks displays which promise to place the city as one of the world’s premier locations in which to mark the end of 2013. The festivities will centre around the iconic landmarks of the city including Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, The Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis the Palm.
Since its opening in 2010, the celebrations at Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, have been shown around the world and this year will be no different, with the images joined by those of a spectacular show which will use the coastline of Dubai as the stage for a breathtaking display which will begin shortly before midnight and last for more than 20 minutes.
Attempt to break the Guinness World Record
A six-minute display choreographed across the whole of The Palm Jumeirah and the islands of The World. The World Record breaking attempt will cover a distance of over 99.4km of seafront and feature 450,000 colorful fireworks and a series of scenes designed exclusively for the show and set to a musical soundtrack designed for the event.
While the world-record attempt is taking place, in Downtown Dubai residents and visitors will be able to enjoy fireworks cascading down Burj Khalifa. The best locations to enjoy the fireworks include Burj Park, an island overlooking Burj Khalifa, set on Burj Lake or the Waterfront Promenade lining The Dubai Mall; Burj Plaza; the 3.5km Emaar Boulevard; and other areas in Downtown Dubai.
Guests will enjoy a range of experiences throughout our 21 restaurants, bars and clubs, as well as two incredible entertainment events and, of course, the world’s most talked about firework displays, covered in over 30 countries.”
