Plans for New Year's Eve 2025/26 – what can you do?

Dubai offers plenty of ways to welcome the New Year. If you like the atmosphere of beach parties, JBR Beach in Dubai Marina or the popular Kite Beach are great choices, where you can count on a unique atmosphere and a view of the fireworks.

On Palm Jumeirah, many hotels and restaurants organize special New Year's Eve events – from elegant dinners to concerts and fireworks displays. Meanwhile, at Global Village, as every year, you can expect additional attractions prepared especially for the occasion.

The biggest attraction – Burj Khalifa

However, there is no doubt that the most attention is always attracted by the spectacular show at Burj Khalifa. This event brings together hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world and is considered one of the most beautiful New Year's Eve shows in the world.

Although there is no updated information about this year's edition at the moment, it is worth taking a look at the rules that applied last year – many of them may be similar this year.

To celebrate at the Burj Khalifa, you need to reserve a place in one of the restaurants or venues in the area or purchase a ticket for the special area by the fountains. Last year, admission to the square near the fountains was paid – a ticket for an adult cost 580 AED, for children 370 AED, and children under 5 could enter for free.

It is also worth remembering that some of the streets around Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall will be closed. This means that taxis will not be able to drive up to the event itself, and participants must be prepared for a short walk.

The latest and official information about New Year's Eve 2025/26 in Dubai, including details about the event at Burj Khalifa, will be published on the organizer's website.
