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.
Firefighters appear to have mostly extinguished the fire at the Address Downtown hotel in Dubai, according to witnesses.
Plumes of white smoke still emanated from the charred 63-storey building on Friday morning.
Witnesses reported seeing some flames coming from a lower portion of the building as late as around noon local time, but a hotel spokesperson said the situation was under control.
