Dubai used a spectacular display of pyrotechnics to usher the New Year and created a new world record, report sources.

People braved chilly weather to assemble in the beaches of Umm Suqeium, Jumeirah and Jumeirah Beach Residence, early in the evening.
Families, with kids only months old, stood as early as 5pm to get the best possible view of the spectacle.
