As the world eagerly anticipates the dazzling New Year’s Eve fireworks display at the Burj Khalifa, some lucky residents are experiencing the magic from a unique vantage point.
Residing in the world’s tallest building, they have a front-row seat to the meticulous preparations that transform the iconic structure into a beacon of celebration.
“The first signs of preparation starts around November 30, when the laser lamps for the light show are being attached to the building,” Dr Mina Jethu, a dentist originally from Amsterdam, told Khaleej Times.
“Throughout December, numerous preparations are on. I started noticing some Mission Impossible-style stunts, with experts assembling the framework for the fireworks. It’s amusing to watch the lamps move and display different colours during the testing phase, even if it’s early in the morning.”
