If you’re looking to spend New Year’s Eve in a lively and fun city, then there’s no better destination than Dubai! Chic hotels, trendy bars, Michelin-star restaurants, and plenty of exciting activities—there’s no way you won’t have a fabulous time! The best part? It doesn’t matter whether you’re traveling solo, with a partner, or with your entire fam jam—in Dubai, there’s something for everyone. Did we convince you to travel to the city to ring in 2022? Great! Now scroll ahead for a list of all the fun activities you can explore.
Watch The Fireworks
Fireworks and new year’s events always go hand in hand. If you wish to witness the beautiful fireworks display as the clock strikes 12, you should head to the city’s most iconic landmark. Our suggestion? Be in or around The Burj Khalifa! If you want front-row seats, make sure to book in advance as social distancing norms will limit ticket availability. Besides that, you can also make a reservation at a nearby restaurant to catch the spectacular display!
Have A Staycation
Uncomfortable about the idea of large crowds owing to COVID-19? We totally get it. But what if we told you that you can enjoy a trip to Dubai while avoiding the NYE crowds? Book a staycation at one of the many stunning hotels or resorts the city has to offer. Whether you want to stay by the beach, in the middle of the desert or in Old Dubai—you’ll find plenty of options to suit your needs. Just pick a hotel and spend some cosy nights with your partner or family.
Go On A Food Trail
It’s a fact well known that Dubai is an absolute gastronomic heaven! And what better way to start the new year than to explore all the delightful restaurants the city has to offer? You can check out the Dubai International Financial Centre, home to Dubai’s best dining spots, or take a peek at the hottest new restaurants here. Happy eating!
Hit Up Dubai’s World-Famous Clubs
What’s NYE without clubbing, right? If you’re someone who loves to party the night away, then you need to hit the phenomenal clubs in Dubai! Looking for suggestions? Check out the rooftop lounge Treehouse in Business Bay, Meydan’s Soho Garden or Dubai Marina hotspots like Zero Gravity and The Penthouse. If you’re interested in attending NYE-specific events, keep a track of what’s happening on the Dubai Calender.
Party It Up On A Yacht
Want to level up your New Year’s Eve clubbing scene? Take the party to a yacht! Imagine cruising on a luxurious boat through the glistening water as you sip on some bubbly champaign and watch the fireworks at midnight! Sounds ethereal, doesn’t it? If you want to plan a private yacht party for your folks, get in touch with Xclusive Yachts or Amwaj Al Bahar to help organize your dream night!
Go On A Desert Adventure
For those of you who like to do outdoorsy activities, we’ve got the best suggestion for you. Why not spend your time exploring fun activities in the middle of the Arabian desert? You could book a desert safari, go camping under the stars or explore cultural entertainment activities. If you plan it well, you could even make it back to the city just in time for the NYE countdown!
Spend The Night In The Sky
If you’re looking for a truly unique New Year’s Eve experience, consider spending the night at Ain Dubai, the highest and largest observation wheel at Bluewaters Island. The wheel features 48 passenger cabins including observation cabins, social cabins, and private cabins. The USP? 360 degree-views of the spectacular Dubai skyline! Just remember to book in advance!
So, what are you waiting for? Book your travels and gear up for a fantastic start to the year!
