Not just one or two, but seven times the fireworks took Dubai by glorious surprise last New Year’s Eve. Global Village just opened its doors at the time of writing with a massive fireworks show, followed by more every Friday and Saturday at 9pm. While we’re sure they’re going to have a smashing display to welcome the new year in Dubai, it remains to be seen if they’ll top the seven fireworks display from 2023!
