The amazing fireworks show on the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai for the opening of the Atlantis Palm Hotel.The whole night is reported to have cost over $20 million. The company that did the fireworks display for the Beijing Olympics in China was hired to do this show in Dubai. Fireworks were set off all the way around the crescent and all fronds of the Palm Jumeirah.
It was truly one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.Only in Dubai is such a spectacle possible.
And with the showcase suite costing a whopping $25k a night, you'd better have an opening party to do it justice.
Guests will all be treated to a private concert on the waterfront by Kylie Minogue, followed by the world's biggest ever firework display.
Dubai has expanded rapidly in recent years, with the sole intention of becoming one of the most important commercial and travel destinations in the world.
Steadily, projects are reaching completion - and they don't come much grander than the Atlantis. It sits nestled at the top of the Palm Jumeirah - a man-made piece of land shaped, funnily enough, like a giant palm.
It's a huge pink structure that's bound to inspire love it/hate it arguments, but you can't fail to be impressed by its grandeur.
More than 1,500 rooms, a huge aquarium with more than 65,000 marine animals, more than a kilometre of beaches, a dolphin park, a waterworld and staff from all around the world to tend to your every desire.
