For a different kind of celebration, attend the Dubai Opera’s New Year’s Eve Gala. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the celebration kicks off with dinner service during a big band performance, followed by a concert, fireworks and a DJ set.

 

To see the fireworks from a new angle, visit Sky Views Observatory and watch the fireworks from above the city. The observatory’s event packages come in at different price points, but all include entertainment, food and beverages.
