Dubai delights the world again with a spectacular display of fireworks as more than a million people gathered to welcome the New Year 2013.

 

People from around the world gathered at the Burj Khalifa – some as early as noon yesterday – were mesmerized by the astonishing visual effects of fire, water, light and music.

The flag of the UAE was flashed on large screens spread across the Burj Khalifa, followed by images of flags of a number of countries including Morocco, Egypt, England, India and many others.

Smiling faces of spectators appeared on the screens seconds before the fireworks lit up the skies of Dubai and at the first sight of the fireworks, spectators watching the breathtaking celebrations held up their cameras to catch the unmatched scene.

Towers around the Burj joined in with their own display of fireworks.

“We were here last year but weren’t lucky to catch a good glimpse of the dazzling fireworks so we returned this year,” said Yara and Lyana Elbanna, two sisters who came from Jordan for the event.
