Watch The Burj Khalifa Fireworks

The best place to watch the New Year’s fireworks in Dubai is the Burj Khalifa. It is also the tallest building in the world, so if you want to get a good view of Dubai's fireworks, that's where you should be.

The world's tallest building is located in Downtown Dubai and offers panoramic views of the city, including from its observation deck. The tower has several restaurants inside, as well as shopping areas and an indoor ski slope! The Burj Khalifa is a huge, impressive building that's been called "the most beautiful building in the world." It's located in Dubai and is one of the tallest buildings in the world, with a height of over 828 meters (about 2,722 feet).

The show lasts for about 30 minutes and is launched from the top of the tower. It’s synchronized to music, so if you have a pair of earphones with an aux cable, you can listen along while watching! You won't see these fireworks anywhere else in Dubai because they're only visible from this one location.

Luxury Dhow Cruise

If you want to see Dubai during the New Year, then a dhow cruise is the perfect way to do it. You'll get an up close and personal look at some of the most iconic sights in Dubai while sailing during New Year’s Eve time. During this time the party at Dhow cruise marina is at its peak and tickets are hard to grab during the last week of the year. From the Burj Al Arab to the Palm Jumeirah and even down along Dubai's skyline, this nighttime excursion is sure to be one for the books to enjoy the New Year with your loved and dear ones!

The dhow cruise is another way to experience the wonders of Dubai's waterways while enjoying some great food and drinks along the way. And with our VIP service, you'll be treated like royalty while enjoying stunning views of Dubai's skyline. You will also experience the traditional Wooden Boat and watch the 360-degree view, which includes all the different landmarks in Dubai. From the Burj Al Arab to the Palm Jumeirah and even down along Dubai's skyline, this nighttime excursion is sure to be one for the books to enjoy the New Year with your loved and dear ones!

Helicopter Ride

One of the best ways to see Dubai from above is by helicopter. These trips provide an experience that's equal parts breathtaking and relaxing, allowing you to take in the city's skyline in a way you never could on foot. The best part? You can enjoy this perspective without having to deal with crowds or traffic.

When planning your trip, keep these travel tips in mind:

• A flight lasts about 20 minutes and costs approximately $300 per person. If you're traveling with kids under two years old, they'll be able to ride for free! With so much competition among companies offering helicopter rides over Dubai, there are usually discounts available on specific days (like New Year's Eve). For example, if you're hoping for a romantic evening alone together but don't want to compromise your budget then look no further than our list of top spots for getting away from it all during this time period:

Please note that the pricing may vary during the New Year as the demand for such thrill rides is usually high. So better to book your helicopter ride at least 2 weeks in advance to avoid any rush on the last day of the year.

Romantic Overnight Stay in Desert Safari

Stay overnight in a luxurious tent and watch the sunrise from your desert safari on the very first day of the year. You’ll be lulled to sleep by the sounds of camel bells clanging, and waking up to a hot cup of coffee served on your private camp will make for an amazing way to start the New Year. This is going to be a romantic overnight New Year celebration in the Dubai desert safari. You can also go for a romantic stroll under the stars or enjoy dinner under the moonlight—whatever you choose, it will be one of those memories that make this night unforgettable!
