Three people were hurt in a fire that broke out at the world’s tallest hotel on Sunday.
The small blaze at Gevora Hotel in Dubai is believed to have started due to an electrical fault in the sauna room.
The three injured suffered smoke inhalation.
Dubai Police tweeted to say the hotel, which is located in Ahmed Abdul Rahim Al Attar Tower near DIFC on Sheikh Zayed Road, was evacuated while the fire was extinguished.

The road outside was also closed to cars for some time.

It opened its doors in February 2018, 12 years after construction began.
