BURJ KHALIFA / DOWNTOWN

A year that is going to begin with a world record Light Show that will impress all the visitors, at the world’s tallest building – The Burj Khalifa is not a sight to be missed out upon.

An incredibly choreographed Light Show is also set to achieve a record breaking spectacle giving all of us the best perspective of the Burj.

BURJ AL ARAB FIREWORKS

With a strong history of extraordinary fireworks, there is no doubt in the fact that it’s going to be another remarkable night at the Burj Al Arab that lies at the Kite Beach.
