Photos: Burj Khalifa lights up for Dubai Summer Surprises

Dubai loves fun. And how better to celebrate than by lighting up the iconic Burj Khalifa in a suit of light and hearts? The emirate kicked off Dubai Summer Surprises, which runs until August 29, with a grand show near the Dubai Fountain.

Lights, camera, action! The official ceremony of the 23rd edition of the annual festival was held near the Burj Khalifa.

Dancing fountains and light shows announced the start of this year's DSS.

Check out the pop-ups, fireworks, sales, and food and hotel deals that are set to continue for the next two months.

Of course, even while celebrating, there was a nod to the recent tough times that saw a pause on visitors. 'Welcome back' said Dubai in style.
