In October, Emaar had made the announcement that fireworks would make a comeback at the Burj after last year’s lights show. At the time, they had stated that the upcoming “New Year’s Eve Gala” in Downtown Dubai will be highlighted by festivities across Burj Khalifa and water-music performances at The Dubai Fountain.
Special viewing platforms will also be set up across Downtown Dubai and the event will also be broadcast live on television channels, for those who cannot make it to the venue.
