The Guinness World Record winning LED illumination on Burj Khalifa facade will continue through January 9.
The spectacular LED display envelopes Burj Khalifa in the UAE National flag colours, among other dazzling effects, which captivated the world during the Downtown Dubai New Year’s Eve Gala, the world’s most-watched spectacle.
In addition to Arabic motifs and ‘mashrabiya’ (oriel window) patterns, the LED display also features flags of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait.
Visitors to Downtown Dubai can watch the spectacular projections until January 9 at regular intervals from 6:45pm to 11:45pm, with the colourful light effects on Burj Khalifa complementing the display of the Dubai Fountain.
The display broke the world record for the largest LED-illuminated facade, and with the fireworks and laser displays on New Year’s Eve, it helped to create one of the world’s brightest visual spectacles.
Spanning a total area of 32,467 square metres, the LED display has 70,000 LED bulbs placed in position using over 100,000 brackets and linked seamlessly with 55,000 metres of cabling for the perfect visual display.
