Dubai welcomed 2018, the 'Year of Zayed', with a Guinness World Record title with "Light Up 2018', a laser light show at Burj Khalifa.

At the stroke of midnight, the world's tallest tower danced in ethereal web of lights after paying tribute to the founding father of the UAE, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

The mesmerising laser, light and musical fountain show not only had a spellbinding effect on spectators, but Emaar's 'Light Up 2018' also clinched the Guinness World Records title for the 'largest light and sound show on a single building,' staged on Burj Khalifa, the global icon. 'Light Up 2018' on Burj Khalifa, spanned an impressive surface area of 109,252 sq metres (about 27 acres, the size of about 20 football fields) - more than double that of the earlier record set.

This was the first time Burj Khalifa did not welcome the New Year with fireworks but spectators were all the more enamored with the laser light show.

Exif: Nikon D850, Tamron 15-30 SP 2.8 Di VC, 15mm, F-3.2, 1 Sec, ISO-64.
