    Dubai is one of the most exciting cities in the world. It's a place where you can do anything, from visiting Dubai Mall to riding a camel on the beach. But if you're looking for something different this New Year's Eve, then you might want to consider some of these unique places in Dubai!

    Burj Khalifa

    If you're looking for a place to go watch the fireworks, one of the best spots in Dubai is the At.mosphere restaurant at Burj Khalifa. This is where you should go if you want to see the fireworks from above and experience some of Dubai's most amazing views. You'll be able to see everything from here: Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, Sheikh Zayed Road and more!

    Besides being an awesome spot for watching New Years Eve fireworks, there are plenty of other things to do at Burj Khalifa that will make your night special. For example:

    • You can visit the observation deck on floors 124-128 which has amazing views of Dubai and Abu Dhabi
    • If you want something different than just seeing a view, try going up in one of their six glass pods that take visitors up over 170m into the sky (there are two other ways people are able to reach this height)

    Burj Al Arab

    If you've ever wondered what it would be like to spend the night in a hotel that looks like a giant sail, then you should definitely check out Burj Al Arab. Located in Dubai, this is the world's only seven-star hotel (yes, there are six stars and then one more star for being "seven" stars). The building has an iconic helipad on top of its roof and if you're unlucky enough to get stuck in traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road, you can take a helicopter ride into town instead!

    The restaurant at Burj Al Arab is called Al Maha and offers some amazing food with views of Dubai Marina down below. There are also plenty of bars around the pool area where guests can enjoy drinks while soaking up some rays—or just relaxing by themselves!

    Burj Al Arab was built back in 1999 so it's not exactly old school but still worth checking out if you're looking for something different than all those other hotels that are popping up nowadays!

    Dinner at Dhow Cruise Marina

    To enjoy a night out on New Year's Eve on Dhow Cruise Marina could be the best option for the couple. The location is prime, and the views are spectacular. There are also many restaurants, bars, and lounges within walking distance of the marina where you can grab some drinks before or after your cruise.

    Where: Dubai Creek Harbor

    What to wear: Dressy casual attire or formal wear (no sweatpants please)

    How to get there: Get on a dhow cruise at the Dubai Creek Harbor and tell them where you'd like to go—they will pick up other passengers along the way too! Or if you're going with friends, travel together by car then meet at Dubai Creek Harbor so they can take their own dhow boat to their destination while yours departs from there as well. Directions: From Al Qasr Road turn left into Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard; follow signs for Deira City Center; drive along Etisalat Road until it becomes Al Saada Street; turn right onto Reem Island Road; continue past Jumeirah Beach Hotel under bridge into Al Sufouh road then left again into King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Street leading up towards Burj Khalifa Tower, Emirates Towers Hotel & Residence all along Sheikh Zayed Road until reaching E11 near Jumeirah Village Circle Roundabout which leads directly onto Jumeirah Beach Road (E11) heading southbound towards Atlantis The Palm Resort & Spa located on Crescent Bay next door

    Evening Desert Safari

    The desert safari is a great way to experience the desert, see the sunset and stars, and witness sunrise. It's one of the most popular activities in Dubai for good reason: it's romantic, fun, and about as close as anyone can get to being back in the wild.

    Visiting Kite Beach

    Kite Beach is a great place to spend New Year's Eve. There are two main events that happen on Kite Beach: the fireworks show at midnight, and the sunrise hours after. The first event is especially spectacular because you will be able to see all of Dubai's famous landmarks light up into an enormous fireworks display as you watch from Kite Beach! You'll be able to see the Burj Khalifa, Atlantis Hotel, and many more iconic buildings go off with impressive bursts of color and sound.

    The second event—the sunrise—is also worth checking out if you have time in your schedule (or if it fits better with your travel plans). If you love watching sunrises or sunsets while traveling, this will be one of your best opportunities since there aren't many places that allow such a wide view of the horizon without much obstruction!
