Stunning Dubai fireworks drone footage

Recorded by filmmaker Manuel Micheal Bassil and shared on his @manuelbassil Instagram account, the 39-second clip shows the fireworks at the Burj Al Arab as you have never seen them before.

The video follows a first person view of a drone flying in among the fireworks at the Burj Al Arab and even by the high standards set in Dubai it is a truly remarkable video.

Flashes of colour explode all around the camera in a spectacular light show of dazzling intensity.

Dubai’s Burj Khalifa also had incredible firework display on the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. It reached new heights with a record-breaking firework display with 2,500 firing directions, 287 firing positions and 4,000 watts of lasers.
