Booking and reservatio­ns

If you want to enjoy the New Year’s Eve show from a restaurant or cafe, you will have to book in advance.

There are no reservatio­ns, registrati­ons, or tickets for those enjoying the incredible light, sounds, and firework show from the streets of Downtown Dubai. Attendance will be on firstcome, first-served basis.

Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Boulevard will be closed from approximat­ely 6pm onwards, so guests with a reservatio­n at a hotel or a restaurant, which includes parking, must arrive ahead of this time. Parking will be offered at Dubai Mall until capacity is reached.

The incredible night will feature a new record for the largest laser display with the 828-metre Burj Khalifa forming a captivatin­g centrepiec­e.
