Dubai has promised to celebrate New Year's Eve with a record-breaking extravaganza featuring over 400,000 fireworks, the largest display the world has ever seen, its government said.
The United Arab Emirates city state, home to the world's tallest tower, largest man-made island and one of the world's busiest airports, will "break the Guinness World Record for the 'Largest Firework Display'," a government statement said.
The six-minute show over two of its manmade islands -- The Palm Jumeirah and The World -- will "feature over 400,000 colorful fireworks and a series of amazing scenes designed exclusively for the event and set to a specially choreographed musical soundtrack."
The display will be overseen by more than 200 pyrotechnicians, and the fireworks will be launched from 400 locations, it added.
