Burj Khalifa New Year'S Eve Fireworks

Where to catch it from, ticket prices and all you need to know about the Burj Khalifa New Year’s Eve fireworks this 2025

 

A tradition for the ages, Dubai New Year’s Eve means heading to Burj Khalifa for some extravagant fireworks. And now, dates have already been confirmed to ring in 2025 in front of the world’s tallest building!

Emaar has revealed that a spectacular Burj Khalifa fireworks show is returning alongside the iconic synchronised Dubai Fountain show on Tuesday 31 December beginning at 3.30pm.

 

What’s the best place to spot the Burj Khalifa New Year’s Eve fireworks?

 

Burj Park has always been the best spot for the best view of the city’s most recognisable landmark and the New Year’s Eve fireworks.

It’s best to get there by public transport, and definitely by 5pm at the latest to avoid traffic and road closures. This year promises live entertainment, kids’ workshops and a curated selection of food and drinks at the park.

There are also tickets this year around to ensure it isn’t too crowded, so you can move around the areas and have the best night out.

When it comes to seating as always, it’ll be a first-come, first-served basis for the picnic tables, drum tables and bean bags – so getting early has never been more important! There are 10 food and beverage stalls offering a wide range of dining options, alongside live bands, DJ performances and children’s activities throughout the day.

It is important to remember to collect your badge between Thursday 26 December and Monday 30 December, with colour-coded navigation flags onsite to locate the venue.

 

Are there free places to watch the Burj Khalifa New Year’s Eve fireworks from?

 

If you want to explore free areas in Downtown Dubai, Dubai Mall will remain free and open to the public and of course, offers a a nice view of the show. With over 200 restaurants across the mall, you’ll be spoilt for choice for good seating arrangements and views.

Alternatively, you could visit Souk Al Bahar, offering an array of dining options and panoramic views of Burj Khalifa’s fireworks, laser and light show and animation. Don’t miss out!
