Dubai: Downtown Dubai’s New Year’s Eve festivities, which will feature a light show at the world’s tallest tower, are set to be streamed live on social media, it was announced on Wednesday.
Emaar Properties and Twitter confirmed that they have tied up to live-stream the New Year’s Eve festivities in Burj Khalifa to a global Twitter audience for the second consecutive year.
The live coverage of the visual extravaganza, Emaar’s attempt to land in the Guinness World Records 2018, will air on New Year’s Eve, from Downtown Dubai at 11:30 pm GST/2:30 pm EST on the 31st of December and will be available worldwide.
