Pictures emerge on Twitter showing The Address Downtown Dubai hotel engulfed in flames. The building that hosts the 5-star hotel is 302 meters tall and is located not far from the New Year's Eve fireworks display.
It was not immediately clear what caused the fire, which covered at least 20 stories of the building near the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper, AP reports.

Burning debris rained down from the building as firetrucks raced to the scene.

Nobody was injured in the fire, a civil defense official told Al Arabiya.
Social media users have reported panic as people run away from the area around the building.

Well to be honest , any UAE official if they will see the picture might deport the folks taking picture in front of the burning hotel

I am just saying, why risk getting fired from your work or deported such pictures go viral pretty fast on internet
