Dubai authorities are investigating the cause of a huge fire that broke out at a hotel in the city's downtown district ahead of the emirate's New Year celebrations.
Only minor injuries were reported after the blaze at the 63-storey Address Downtown hotel, close to the world's tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa.
Dubai's New Year fireworks display went ahead at midnight at the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, despite a massive fire at the nearby Address hotel.
The display at the Burj is traditionally one of the largest seen at New Year.
Officials from the emirate had earlier insisted the blaze at the Address hotel would not prevent the fireworks going ahead.
