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.
Photographs released by the Dubai government show the extent to which the Address Downtown hotel was damaged by fire overnight.
Despite dramatic footage showing flames leaping from the upper floors after the fire broke out late in the evening on 31 December, there were only a few minor injuries as guests and residents escaped the building.
