A fire has engulfed a Dubai hotel close to where the city is about to hold its New Year celebrations.
The Address Dubai Marina is understood to be on fire, with the flames reaching from the ground floor to the top.
It was not immediately clear what caused the fire, which ran up at least 20 stories of the building near the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper.
Burning debris rained down from the building as firetrucks raced to the scene. It was not immediately clear if anyone was wounded in the blaze.
The hotel is just moments from where the city was about to celebrate the start of 2016.
