Dubai — Burj Khalifa Light Show (Short Video)

This week and next I will present images and videos of Dubai. Today will feature a short version of the nightly spectacular Burj Khalifa light show (next week’s Fun Photo Friday will feature the extended version). The Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest structure. It towers over a half-mile in height. Today we’re concerned with the nightly light show. As one would expect of the world’s tallest structure, the light show is the world’s largest displayed upon a single structure.

Some fun stats on the tallest structure in the world, the Burj Khalifa:

• Completed: 1 October 2009
