Burj Khalifa’s New Year’s Eve fireworks display, a massive tourist attraction for Dubai, is set to be bigger this year, according to the The National that ran a report this week.

Since its inception in 2010 by developer Emaar Properties, the show has garnered interest and remains one of the highlights of festivities during the season. It is estimated to be watched by an audience of one billion globally, and will be live-streamed on the property developer’s website.

This year, the celebration is also set to feature a pyrotechnics display precisely choreographed to a content and light show and a fitting soundtrack.

As the city braces itself for the sparkling display, a record 325 firing positions have also been placed around Burj Khalifa for the show, added The National.

These will fire into 2,800 different directions made possible by 15,682 pyrotechnic elements, accompanied by more than 6,600 lights and 127 strobe strings that will illuminate the Dubai Fountain.

Peter Kopik – known for his work with fountain choreography – will be responsible for synchronising the water, light and sound show with Burj Khalifa’s display.

While access to Downtown Dubai is free, Burj Park is selling tickets for approximately Dh150 for an exclusive spot, which includes food and drinks.
