Burj Khalifa is the top spot for celebrating New Year with fireworks. The best part is that anyone can enjoy its fireworks free of cost, either from the observation decks or by the Dubai Fountain. The fireworks begin at midnight and go on for 20 to 30 minutes. Whatever your plan is, always remember to arrive as early as in the evening because finding a spot for later on can be quite tedious. As the location of the skyscraper is in Downtown Dubai, you can easily get there by public transport like metros, buses, and taxis.
Since 2010, the leading property developer Emaar has left no leaves unturned in making the New Year a spectacular sight. Every year comes with a different sight for the tourists and locals alike. The year 2025 will also be an amazing start that will stay within the beholder’s heart for a year.

If you are deciding to watch the fireworks from the observation decks or any in-house restaurant of Burj Khalifa, then book the tickets in advance.

If you are with the family and you prefer a calm environment you can visit Kite Beach. But the beach can be crowded so it is wise to arrive early. Or if you would rather you can make a lunch or dinner reservation at one of the restaurants in the Souk Madinat Jumeirah and dine while watching the fireworks show.
Those intending to eat at Burj Al Arab can get in after making a booking with the restaurant. Please do bear in mind that children cannot be accommodated in the Sky View Bar but you can take your family to the Sahn Eddar for a hot and delectable tea break.
