DUBAI: Dubai welcomed the New Year with a stunning display of fireworks that lit up the night sky. <br /> <br />As the city attempted the world's largest fireworks, an explosive display, featuring more than 400,000 fireworks, lit the Dubai skyline. <br /> <br />As the clock struck midnight, a six-minute show illuminated the skies above two of its man-made islands, The Palm Jumeirah and The World, and the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. <br /> <br />Residents and visitors were impressed. <br /> <br />"It is a very beautiful show, I have been here for seven years. This is the best that I have seen," said Mohammad Abdelrehman, an Egyptian who has been living in the city. <br /> <br />"This is my first time in Dubai for the New Year but I have not seen New Year like this before, it is really incredible," said Kelly Kaczmarek from the United States. <br /> <br />The United Arab Emirates, which is home to the world's largest man-made island and the tallest building, is vying to secure its place on the tourist map as the hub for entertainment in the Middle East. <br /> <br />Organisers hope to make it to the Guinness World Records. <br /> <br />The current record for the largest firework display is held by Kuwait City, Kuwait, which in 2012 celebrated the 50th anniversary of its constitution with a show that featured 77,282 fireworks stretching over 5 kilometres (3.11 miles) of seafront and which lasted 64 minutes. – Reuters..
