Watch the amazing fireworks show from Dubai as ruler Sheikh Mohammed unveils the world's tallest building, the Burj Dubai. (itn)
This is a beautiful video that also includes a dancing water show--very similar to Bellagio's in Las Vegas. If you don't have the time or patience to watch a twelve minute video, then jump to nine minutes in to it for the spectacular fireworks display.

That's pretty d*mn amazing! I intend to go there one day. They race F1 there too. Awesome. :o)
That really WAS spectacular!
I don't know...flames and explosions coming from a tall skyscraper...a little disconcerting to me.
John, it is an amazing show. Unfortunately, the repressive nature of the nation takes away a lot of the splendor and wonder of the event.
Wow that was impressive. That is one huge building.
