New Year 2013 Dubai

Dubai has taken New Year's celebrations to the next level with their count down and fireworks.

The iconic New Year’s Eve Gala in Downtown Dubai, the most prestigious square kilometre on earth, set an impressive global milestone as one of the world’s most attended single events, attracting more than 1 million people from across the globe, with a 35-minute long spectacular countdown celebration.

The Downtown Dubai New Year’s Eve Gala featured an unparalleled display of colourful fireworks from Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, which was set for the first time to the rhythm of live orchestra.
