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
- Opened: 4 January 2010
- Height (top of spire): 2,717 feet/828 meters:
- Height (antenna): 2,722 feet/829.8 meters
- Roof: 2,426 feet/739.4 meters
- Top Floor: 1,921 feet/585.4 meters
- Observatory: 1,823 feet/555.7 meters
- Total Floors: 163 (including nine maintenance floors)
- Floor Area: 3,331,100 sq. ft./309,473 m2
- For times and other information see: Burj Khalifa Light Show & Dubai Fountain Timings
Enough of the stats. Enjoy the show:

Why Dash Cams are a Good Idea
The following is a recording of an accident my dash cam captured on Tuesday, 18 June 2024 in El Paso, Texas on North Mesa at Remcon. When we got to our destination I called the regional police substation and advised that I had a video. Alas, I guess visual evidence was not important enough to warrant an EPPD officer following up with me to obtain a copy. At any rate, I’ve cropped the video to enlarge the relevant scene, as my dash cam has an enormous 140º view.
