It is not surprising that tens and hundreds of thousands of tourists arrive in the UAE on New Year's Eve to see with their own eyes the grandiose festive events dedicated to the secular New Year. The residents of the country, professing Islam, celebrate their own in accordance with the Muslim calendar.
Tourists in the winter Emirates will find lavishly decorated display cases, many exciting adventures - from water attractions at water parks to ski slides at Ski Dubai amusement park - and traditional beaches. Despite December and January on the calendar, the air temperature in the UAE resorts does not drop below + 25 ° C during the day.

How New Year is celebrated in the UAE
Noisy parties, walks on the streets with alcohol and other gastronomic pleasures in the Emirates do not happen even on New Year's Eve. Banquets are usually held in clubs and restaurants, and on the streets people gather to watch the light show. The world's tallest skyscraper becomes the center and highlight of the program. The best spots in the vicinity of Burj Khalifa should be taken during the day, because the crowds in the late afternoon will not leave you a chance to see the show unhindered.
At midnight, almost half a million luminous charges soar into the sky over Dubai, and therefore the fireworks look grandiose, huge and difficult to compare with any other in the world.
