Dubai marked the opening of the world’s tallest tower on Monday by renaming it after Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi, who bailed the troubled emirate out of its debt woes last month.
On the fourth anniversary of his accession to power in Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum launched an hour-long sound-and-light extravaganza to assembled local dignitaries in front of the 828m tower.
The public packed into the surrounding retail and residential developments to watch a spectacular firework display.
