Tips for watching the amazing Burj Khalifa show on New Year's Eve
With one of the most wonderful nights of the year approaching, Dubai is preparing for the New Year's celebrations in Burj Khalifa, through its huge annual show, which is watched by hundreds of thousands of people who join the joyful celebrations to live an unforgettable atmosphere on this night.
The upcoming night's events will include unique lighting shows around the Burj Khalifa, developed by Emaar, illuminating the Dubai sky and setting a new record for the largest laser panel, which will have Burj Khalifa sparkling at its center.
In addition to the interesting light and fireworks shows, attendees watch the harmonious performances of the Dubai Fountain.
In this year's session, Emaar is holding a stunning laser, light and fireworks show in downtown Dubai to welcome the year 2023, making it an unforgettable memory and an exceptional experience.
Emaar's advice for planning the evening is to arrive as early as possible.
1- Reservations or early arrival
If you want to enjoy watching the dazzling shows on New Year's Eve from a restaurant or cafe, you must book in advance due to the high demand.
You can book directly with the desired hotel, restaurant or cafe, which will provide you with the necessary information about the procedures for that night, entry requirements, and more.
As for those wishing to watch the laser, light, music and fireworks shows from the streets of downtown Dubai, they will not need reservations, registration or purchase of tickets, as the priority of viewing will be on a first-come-first-served basis, and for this reason we advise everyone to arrive as early as possible.
2- Transportation and parking
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard will close around 6pm, so visitors with reservations that include hotel or restaurant parking should arrive before this time.
Car parking is available in The Dubai Mall until the maximum capacity is reached, and we recommend arriving early, given the possibility of running out of available spaces at any time.
It is not possible to enter the car parks after the surrounding roads are closed.
Taxis will operate as normal before the roads are closed, but they will not be able to enter Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard after the roads are closed.
3- Opening the roads
Roads are expected to start opening between 1 and 2 am, as determined by Dubai Police and the Roads and Transport Authority.
Cars parked in hotels, apartments, restaurants and cafes in Downtown Dubai and The Dubai Mall will be able to leave after the roads are opened.
4- The Dubai Mall Metro
The Dubai Mall Metro Station will close anytime between 2pm and 10pm depending on the numbers in The Dubai Mall, as the station will close once it reaches its maximum capacity.
5- Access to the Boulevard
There will be five points for visitors to access the areas designated for viewing events on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard: Gate 1: Behind the Operations Center in Downtown Dubai, Gate 2: behind Burj Vista, Gate 3: near Emaar Square, next to the Boulevard Plaza building, Gate 4: Opposite Address Boulevard, Gate 5: Opposite Address Downtown.
