සුභ නව වසරක් කියල ප්රාර්ථනා කරනව හැමෝටම ...
ඊයෙ තිබුන සීන් එකක් නේ දන්නව ඇති සහමහර අය ..දිග විස්තරයක් දාන්න කාල වේලා මදියි මචං ..මේ මගේ වීඩියෝ එකක් ..දුප්පත් කැමරාවයි..චාටර් කැමරාකරණයයි ගැන කණගාටුව..
Residents and visitors to Dubai had an unforgettable New Year's Eve as they watched the most spectacular fireworks display the world has ever seen. Thousands of revellers joined in the celebration as Dubai ushered in the New Year by reclaiming the world record of holding the biggest fireworks display.
This was just twice as big and twice as long as the fireworks that marked the 2008 opening of the iconic hotel, Atlantis The Palm, which had claimed an entry into the Guinness Book of World Records. The fireworks on the midnight of Dec.31, 2013 broke the world record for the biggest display of such an event.
Dubai continued to dazzle the world with its colourful New Year's Eve Gala at Downtown Dubai too. An experience of a lifetime, the spectacular fireworks display at Burj Khalifa, underscored its credentials as the most popular New Year's celebration across the globe.
The gala at Downtown Dubai significantly added to the city's civic pride and gave boost to tourism, hospitality and retail sectors, as visitors came from all over the world.
The venue, which hosted over 1.7 million visitors from around the world at the New Year celebrations a year ago, had tight security arrangements this year. Entry to the viewing area was open only for families, who had to adhere to strict rules. Several families with toddlers in strollers and carrying food items were not allowed to enter the venue.
However, there were several other venues open for all. Impressive display of fireworks at other Dubai landmarks like Burj Al Arab and Dubai Festival City further underlined Dubai's reputation as the must-visit destination to usher in the New Year.
The Roads and Transport Authority of Dubai had made remarkable arrangements as the night is usually marked by intense traffic movement. The arrangements included 24-hour operation of the Dubai Metro, free bus-ride around the key venues, and provision of special cruises for revellers to watch the fireworks in Dubai.
Revellers in large numbers also thronged the popular venues in Sharjah - Al Qasba and Al Majaz Waterfront, to celebrate the arrival of New Year. They watched the countdown illuminate from the Sharjah Fountain followed by dazzling firework shows that made it a night to remember.
In Abu Dhabi, fireworks were held along the front of the Emirates Palace hotel to mark the occasion. Several thousand people gathered near the majestic hotel to witness a very impressive midnight show that continued for five minutes.
Even when it comes to bidding goodbye, the UAE knows how to say it in style. Dubai did it in a glittering fashion. It was all about six minutes, 400 locations, 100km shoreline and 400,000 fireworks.
The performance required 100 computers to synchronise the pyrotechnics, along with a choreographed musical soundtrack. More than 200 expert technicians put in 5,000 hours of work to ensure that the fireworks' timing was accurate down to the millisecond.Gulf news
