New Year's Eve 2011, the place to be in is Dubai, as the city's 'Global Icon,' Burj Khalifa -- the world's tallest building by Emaar Properties -- rings in 2011 with an unprecedented spectacular that will elevate the city to the league of the world's most sought-after destinations for New Year's Eve celebrations.
In the proud tradition of the gala celebrations marked around iconic structures such as the Sydney Opera House, Paris Eiffel Tower and at New York Times Square, Dubai is welcoming the world with the Burj Khalifa New Year's Eve Gala.
Also marking the first anniversary of Burj Khalifa, which soars high at 828 metres (2,716.5 ft), the New Year's Eve Gala has a mystique theme that encompasses the entire Downtown Dubai community, the 500-acre mega development by Emaar, described as 'The Centre of Now.'
At the heart of the flourishing lifestyle community is Burj Khalifa, which will usher in the New Year with a colourful countdown followed by a laser-fireworks-lights spectacle. Flagging off the celebrations is a fire-water performance of The Dubai Fountain, the world's tallest performing fountain overlooking Burj Khalifa.
The Dubai Fountain will sway to the rhythm of world music, with fire flames and water jets in harmonious flutter, creating a spellbinding effect on viewers. As the countdown for the New Year begins, the Downtown Dubai community will be enveloped with lights and lasers effects.
Large television panels will display the countdown, and the New Year will be ushered in with a dazzling fireworks-laser-lights display atop Burj Khalifa -- marking it as the world's highest fireworks celebration for the New Year.
Music, specially composed for the event, will add to the surreal ambience, offering spectators a never-before-experienced New Year's Eve gala. The celebration will continue for another hour with The Dubai Fountain performing continuously to a range of world and Arabic music.
