Dubai, known for its spectacular scenery, offers many free activities for New Year's Eve. If you want to welcome the New Year in a simple yet unique way, explore the best free options for spending this special evening.
Dubai Marina is the perfect place to experience the city's New Year spirit. While most venues in the area require spending money, there's nothing stopping you from taking a stroll along the promenade to admire the illuminations. Afterwards, visit the neighbouring JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence) where free firework displays are organised. This is the perfect place to enjoy the spectacular fireworks right from the beach.
If you want to welcome the New Year in an unusual way, Dubai offers the option of a night swim at beaches such as Umm Suqeim. This beach, like two others in Dubai, is illuminated and equipped with electronic safety signs, with lifeguards watching over everything. An evening swim in the warm waters of the Persian Gulf is an unforgettable experience, plus it costs nothing.
For those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, the Al Qudra Lakes are an ideal option. Located on the outskirts of Dubai, the place allows you to spend the night under the stars. You can bring a blanket and a picnic basket to welcome the New Year in peace and quiet in nature. Al Qudra Lakes is also a great location for wildlife lovers, where you can spot flamingos and other birds.
