Dubai promises record-breaking New Year's Eve firework show
Fireworks don’t get any bigger than this!
Dubai has promised to celebrate New Year's Eve with a record-breaking extravaganza featuring over 400,000 fireworks, the largest display the world has ever seen.
The six-minute show over two of its manmade islands - The Palm Jumeirah and The World - will feature over 400,000 colorful fireworks and a series of amazing scenes designed exclusively for the event and set to a specially choreographed musical soundtrack.
The display will be overseen by more than 200 pyrotechnicians, and the fireworks will be launched from 400 locations, it added.
Over the past few years, Dubai has been vying to become a permanent fixture on the world map of New Year celebrations, staging spectacular shows since the opening of the 828-metre Burj Khalifa tower in 2010.
Dubai, which has already established itself as a global hub for air transport and transit trade, as well as a regional financial centre, has also won the right to host the five-yearly World Expo trade fair in 2020. |
