Dubai is now well established as one of the very best New Years Eve party capitals! Hosting a spectacular new years eve party, a jaw dropping fireworks show and iconic sites hosting incredible events that attract big names from all around the world.

The focal point of the celebrations has always been record-breaking fireworks displays and each year they keep getting better and better.

There are actually 3 main fireworks displays in Dubai this new year - at the Burj Khalifa, Burj al Arab and Atlantic the Palm - read on for all the details.

Burj Khalifa Fireworks

This show can typically be viewed for miles around, but the largest crowds will gather along the waterfront areas of the famous Dubai Fountain, while this year the fireworks will also be beamed live to big screens in downtown Dubai, as well as being streamed live around the world - see below for how to watch live online.

This area will be very crowded so if you want to get a good view of the show we advise you to get down there as early as possible - it will typically be packed by around 7pm.

Armani Hotel NYE Dining

If you're in the Burj Khalifa area for new years eve then one of the dining options you might like to consider is inside the location's fabulous Armani Hotel, where there are five award winning restaurants inside this 5 star hotel. Book now to avoid disappointment.

Burj Al Arab Fireworks

Jumeirah Beach area located next to the iconic Burj Al Arab is still the site of a spectacular show at midnight.

There you will find large crowds packed along the whole beach area, from Jumeirah Beach right down to Kite Beach. many choose to head down earlier in the evening to watch the sunset and enjoy a picnic on the beach before the big display, and the areas many cafes and restaurants will also be plying a brisk trade.

Another option for a different perspective on the fireworks views is to head out to Black Palace Beach, which is usually a lot less crowded and from where there's the added bonus of also being able to see the Atlantis fireworks.

Atlantis, The Palm NYE Party & Fireworks

Another spectacular fireworks display can be found at the Atlantis, The Palm, where they have been making a big deal of new years eve for many years now. The addition of the Palm Jumeirah Boardwalk offers an excellent viewing spot to watch the show, also offering a view of the Burj Al Arab fireworks in the other direction.

Atlantis, The Palm also offers a number of new year parties and celebrations to keep you entertained in the buildup to midnight, with their New Years Eve Gala being one of the most popular, offering fine dining, live music, champagne in plentiful supply and of course a front-row view of the fireworks. A great opportunity to indulge in a lavish evening of glitz and glamour. Book now.

Fireworks at Global Village

Another option for your fireworks this new years eve can be found at Global Village. Last year there were 7 different displays, timed to coincide with the arrival of the new year in various locations around the globe.

Starting at 8pm local time through to 1am local time. We're hoping to see this again for this new year. Full details once announced can be found here.

Level 43 Sky Lounge New Years Eve

In a place with a new years eve fireworks display as spectacular as the one in Dubai then anywhere with a view is a prime location, so we can heartily recommend the Level 43 Sky Lounge, located 155 metres up from the ground.

On new years eve there will be plenty of speciality drinks options in an atmosphere surrounded by the city's skyscrapers, meaning of course you have a front row view for the pyrotechnics when midnight arrives.
