Thousands of people were evacuated and it took over two hours for firefighters to bring the blaze under control.
“There was debris flying everywhere, falling into neighbouring buildings,” an eye witness told BBC.
The building is one of the world's tallest residential towers and the apartments within are popular with Dubai's large number of expatriate professionals.
