Around 1.5 million people turned up near Burj Khalifa in Dubai to watch the New Year's Eve show.
As the clock chimed 12, Burj Khalifa came alive with the most spectacular laser show that triggered a collective gasp from thousands. It also established a new Guinness World record for the largest laser light and sound show on one single structure.
The world's tallest tower was bathed in dazzling laser lights in a dynamic dance synchronized with music. The 10-minute laser show began with a display of 2018 being Year of Zayed and went on to display the symbols of the nation - The UAE flag, the falcon in flight and the Arabic language - all to fanfare and razzmatazz.
This year’s festivities were a bit different, with Emaar replacing the fireworks with a light show.
