Celebrate Coming New year Evening on these places with your faimly for Free in UAE.
Whether bursting off the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, or illuminating the sky over the manmade Palm Jumeirah, Dubai’s legendary NYE fireworks are the highlight of the year. If you are staying during NYE, here’s our guide to the best places to catch the spectacular show.
BURJ KHALIFA FIREWORKS | DUBAI
There’s no better spot to watch the biggest fireworks show in Dubai than from the footsteps of the Burj Khalifa, itself. Thousands gather along the waterfront of the Dubai Fountains to catch the spectacular light and water show at midnight so make sure to head down there if you are staying in Downtown Dubai. If you are coming from other parts of the city, arrive as early as 6pm to grab a top spot, or make a booking at one of the many restaurants. Plan ahead as roads and access to the Downtown area are restricted on the night for crowd control.
Souk Al BaharJust across the bridge from The Dubai Mall is Souk Al Bahar, a dining and lifestyle destination with many restaurants offering clear views of the Burj Khalifa fireworks show. Again, book ahead.

BURJ AL ARAB FIREWORKS | JUMEIRAH
Kite Beach/Jumeirah Beach
With the Burj Al Arab as its neighbour, Dubai’s beach stretch is unsurprisingly packed with NYE revellers. Of course, it’s best to get there early - pack a picnic basket and blanket and perhaps get there in time to catch the unmissable sunset before settling in for the night. Kite Beach has a variety of cafe-style eateries, including the ever-popular Salt for scrumptious sliders.

ATLANTIS FIREWORKS | THE PALM JUMEIRAH
Palm Jumeirah Boardwalk
The just-launched 11km boardwalk along the crescent of the manmade Palm Jumeirah will be the place to be on the Palm this NYE. Stretching all the way from the One&Only, The Palm to the other end, the walkway has numerous spots for visitors to watch the fireworks at Atlantis, as well as the Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa from the Rixos-end of the crescent. Bear in mind that access to the Palm is typically restricted to control traffic on NYE.
