Best Spots For New Year's Fireworks In Dubai 2024
Fireworks are the ultimate celebration, loved by everyone, and when it comes to New Year’s Eve, Dubai takes things to a whole new level! From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, here’s a list of places to catch the best firework displays this NYE.
1. Burj Khalifa
The world’s tallest building is also home to one of the most iconic firework shows! Downtown Dubai will come alive as the Burj Khalifa lights up the night sky. Want a prime spot? Head to Burj Park, where for Dhs580 (adults) or Dhs370 (kids), you can enjoy a carnival-like atmosphere with food trucks, live entertainment, and more. Oh, and kids under five? They’re free!
2. Atlantis, The Palm
Fireworks + Lionel Richie = Unforgettable NYE vibes! The Atlantis gala dinner might be pricey (starting at Dhs6,500), but the fireworks can be seen all over Palm Jumeirah and even parts of Dubai Marina. It’s a show you don’t want to miss!
3. Dubai Festival City Mall
Festival Bay is the place to be! Daily fireworks are already a thing thanks to Dubai Shopping Festival, but for New Year’s Eve, there’s a special midnight countdown to 2025. Bring the family and enjoy the waterfront views!
4. Bluewaters & JBR
Catch the magic from two iconic spots. Bluewaters offers licensed restaurants with terraces, while JBR gives you beachside dining and dazzling drone shows at 8pm and 10pm. Fireworks at midnight tie it all together for the perfect NYE!
5. Global Village
Why celebrate once when you can celebrate seven times? Global Village does hourly firework displays starting at 8pm, so even the kids can join in without struggling to stay awake until midnight.
6. Hatta
Picture this: watching fireworks in the serene Hatta mountains, surrounded by nature. As part of the Hatta Winter Festival, this secluded NYE celebration is nothing short of magical.
7. Madinat Jumeirah & Jumeirah Burj Al Arab
The beachfront transforms into a spectacle as the sky lights up with an 8-minute firework extravaganza. Guests of nearby hotels, like Jumeirah Mina Al Salam and Jumeirah Al Qasr, get the best views, but it’s a treat for everyone!
8. Al Seef
Step back in time at Dubai’s historical district and watch fireworks reflect over the creek. Stroll through the charming streets and soak up the old-world vibes before welcoming 2025.
9. Dubai Parks and Resorts – Lapita
Make it a Luau to remember! Lapita’s New Year’s Eve “Lu Wow Weekender” includes fireworks at 9:30pm and midnight. Pair it with festive activities for an unforgettable evening.
Wherever you go, get there early, grab a great spot, and let the fireworks light up your night. Happy New Year!
