What’s On has the best pictures and videos of the Dubai fireworks on New Year’s Eve, from Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab and others parties.

A stunning display of fireworks lit up Dubai Downtown’s night sky as massive crowds descended to the base of Burj Khalifa for the arrival of 2015.

Revellers watched on as a giant clock – illuminated on the side of the world’s tallest skyscraper – counted down to midnight triggering wild celebrations across the city.

Then, as music and fireworks take centre stage, the words Happy New Year appear on the building, first in Arabic then English with enormous portraits of the country’s rulers emblazoned on the buildings’ facade.

The fireworks display covered much of Downtown Dubai and ran for over 10 minutes incorporating The Dubai Fountain, The Address Hotels, and the Old Town, while using the surrounding residential buildings as bases to set off the fireworks. As a finale, the Burj Khalifa was lit up to resemble the UAE flag.
