If ringing in the New Year for you is about being out on the streets and celebrating it with friends and strangers alike, there are plenty of places in Dubai.
Right from the dhow cruises to four-course lavish dinners to watching fireworks, free of cost, there is something for everybody.
Below are the four places you can watch the fireworks on New Year's Eve:
Burj Khalifa
If you have seen the fireworks at the Burj Khalifa, you know that nobody does fireworks better than them.
This year, Emaar has promised a spectacle that integrates amazing LED shows, laser displays and spellbinding fireworks at the Burj Khalifa.
Don't forget that roads around the Burj Khalifa are closed well in advance to avoid traffic. Thousands of revellers across the world gather to watch the fireworks, so reach by early evening.
The event will be telecast live on televisions globally and beamed on big screens in Downtown Dubai. The experience can be watched online at www.mydubainewyear.com.
