Today, people don\u2019t celebrate the execution of Guy Fawkes but celebrate with massive firework displays all over the UK.

The fireworks are set off from the Burj Khalifa, the world\u2019s tallest building, so you can see them from almost anywhere in the city. It&#8217;s truly incredible to watch the fireworks cascading down the giant building. With an awe-inspiring explosion of over 500,000 fireworks, LED lights, and laser beams, this is one phenomenal show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/new-years-around-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3,2,1\u2026here\u2019s who celebrates the New Year first to last across the globe<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-new-year-s-eve-sydney-australia\"><strong>3.
