How to celebrate the New Year in Dubai?

On New Year’s Eve, the emirate traditionally has a lot of entertainment, colorful shows and vivid impressions. On New Year’s Eve, travelers will be able to admire the grandiose laser and pyrotechnic show – it will take place at the Burj Khalifa skyscraper. It is best to watch it from the Dubai Fountain promenade next to the Dubai Mall and from nearby restaurants. The main thing is to advise tourists to come early in order to get the best seats.

Another place from where you can watch the festive fireworks is the deck of the yacht. Local tour operator Xclusive Yachts offers to rent a ship for a New Year cruise along the coast. Your tourists can organize a luxurious party on board — the main thing is to take care of booking the ship in advance.
