From spectacular firework displays to mesmerising drone shows to illuminate the night sky, it was a New Year’s Eve to remember across the UAE as 2024 was welcomed in with true Emirati style.
Fireworks dazzled thousands of spectators who turned out at the Corniche in Abu Dhabi, while the Burj Khalifa display in Dubai signalled the end of 2023 with its trademark annual show.
Few cities around the world can match the firework displays seen across Dubai, while 800 drones took to the skies for two displays at 8pm and 10pm at Jumeirah Beach Residence and Bluewaters, with synchronised lights projected on to Ain Dubai, the world’s highest observation wheel.
The United Arab Emirates announced Friday that it plans to invest up to $50 billion in Canada, under a new strategic framework that prioritizes major projects in artificial intelligence, energy, and mining, signaling one of the most ambitious expansions of Emirati capital into North America.
Abu Dhabi’s International Holding Company (IHC) has confirmed to Reuters that it has expressed interest to the U.S. Treasury in acquiring Russian oil major Lukoil’s foreign assets, becoming the latest heavyweight to explore a potential deal.
An Indian Tejas fighter jet crashed in a ball of fire in front of horrified spectators during an aerial display at the Dubai Airshow on Friday, and the Indian Air Force said it was setting up a court of inquiry to investigate the cause.
