BURJ KHALIFA
In Dubai, New Year’s Eve and fireworks are pretty much synonymous. The city is known for hosting a magnificent display of lights every year that attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators around the world. This year isn’t expected to be any different, with extravagant pyrotechnic shows at Burj Khalifa and a water-music dance at The Dubai Fountain.

Burj Khalifa & The Dubai Fountain

You can’t imagine a better view of Dubai’s most awe-inspiring New Year’s Eve celebration than from the very footsteps of Burj Khalifa. Thousands gather along the waterfront of the Dubai Fountain to catch the spectacular light and water show at midnight, so make sure to get a headstart. Arrive as early as 6pm to avoid traffic and grab a top spot. Or, book a table at one of the famous restaurants lining the waterfront by The Dubai Mall to guarantee yourself a good seat. Just make sure to plan ahead as roads and access to the Downtown area will be restricted on the night for crowd control.

Souk Al Bahar

Just across the bridge from The Dubai Mall is Souk Al Bahar, an upscale dining and lifestyle destination. Many restaurants here, such as Karma Kafé and Serafina, boast clear views of the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Fountain. Again, book ahead so you don’t have to rush to find a seat with the whole family.

Free access; advanced booking required at restaurants

The Address Hotels

Also taking prime position in Downtown Dubai are the five-star hotels Address Dubai Mall and Address Downtown, and both present luxurious rooms and suites with a view this New Year’s Eve. Alternatively, visitors can book a table at the hotel’s restaurants for an al fresco meal to remember. For example, Cabana at Address Dubai Mall features live entertainment and great views of Burj Khalifa, while Zeta at Address Downtown presents a spectacular setting and a menu of Asian-inspired fare.

Burj Plaza

In the shadow of the Burj Khalifa is Burj Plaza, an open-air promenade. Along with a range of dining destinations where you can book a table, this is the best place to be for an alternative and uninterrupted view of the Downtown fireworks.
