Hi everyone,

Heading to Dubai this December (first time!) and will be there for New Year’s Eve it also happens to be my mom’s birthday around that time.

Any tips on when I should start booking stuff like restaurants or beach clubs? Also curious what’s actually worth doing for NYE in Dubai vs. what’s just hype. Would love recs for good spots to celebrate with her like dinners, rooftops, or even just cool places to watch the fireworks.

Appreciate any advice from folks who’ve done it before, TIA

It depends on your budget! If you are planning for a fancy dinner and great spot to watch the fireworks then Armani restaurant in Burj Khalifah will be one of the best options, or you can have a dinner at one of many restaurants in Dubai Mall and watch the fireworks at the fountains area next to Burj Khalifah

I went to Dubai for NYE before, too. The fireworks didn’t even go off on time at midnight despite them talking up their huge fireworks show for weeks. So, if you want to know what’s hype? Dubai is. I hope you enjoy it more than I did.

No, because we had a hotel room with a view of the fireworks so having our own balcony beats it all! Do make reservations for dinner, though - earlier the better so you get best picks of where you want to eat.
