DUBAI (AFP) - Dubai beat off opposition from Brazil, Russia and Turkey on Wednesday to win the right to host the 2020 World Expo, sparking celebrations in the Gulf city and a stunning fireworks display at the world's tallest building.

City authorities declared Thursday a school holiday to celebrate the victory.

The Burj Khalifa tower, which stands 828-metres high, was lit up with the pyrotechnics, while fireworks were also set off elsewhere in the coastal city.

There were jubilant crowds at the foot of the tower and in Dubai's shopping malls.
