Thousands of people are expected to attend the anniversary celebration to see the specially choreographed LED shows beamed upon the building. The shows from Dubai Fountains will be the world\u2019s longest when they go ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There will be three shows on Saturday, January 4, taking place at 7pm, 8pm and 9pm, so you\u2019ve got three opportunities to catch all of the live action.
