And no… we don’t mean on YouTube…

Burj Khalifa was the center of attention for more than half of Dubai over New Year’s Eve. And for good reason. Year after year, the world’s tallest building puts on a jaw-dropping show with lights, lasers, music, and, of course, dazzling fireworks. And this year was no different.

If you didn’t join the (over) one million visitors who had their eyes glued to the dazzling skyscraper when the countdown to 2025 began, you missed quite the show.

But don’t worry! You still have a chance to relive the magic as the Burj Khalifa will be running the impressive NYE laser and light show for a limited time until March 31, 2025.

The show (sans the fireworks) will run daily at 8.30pm, 9.15pm and 10.15pm. You can witness the show from a number of restaurants with a Burj Khalifa view (just make sure you’re facing the correct side), or you can check it out from the Dubai Mall, where you can also enjoy the Dubai Fountain show. Plan with family and friends, and head on over before it’s too late.

Looking oh-so-shinny? Back in November it was reported that Emaar Properties, the developer behind the world’s tallest tower, has announced that the exterior of the Burj Khalifa has been given an overhaul with a new façade lighting system. The already iconic light show is getting a new RGBW (red, green, blue, white) system. The current static lights will be replaced by colour-changing fixtures and complex lighting effects.

The Burj Khalifa turned 15 years old on January 4, 2025. It is firmly recognized across the world as one of Dubai’s most iconic structures and holds a world record title for being the world’s tallest building. It opened on January 4, 2010.
