How To Have An Unstressful New Year’s Eve in Dubai

[annydan]

If you think staying in for the holiday in Dubai is the only way to avoid the crowd, you’re missing out. There are great alternatives to avoid all of the chaos on the street for New Year’s Eve. A lot of people opt for a dhow cruise on New Year’s Eve. With one dhow cruise, you get dinner, entertainment and the perfect view of the midnight fireworks all at once. There’s really no reason to run all over the place when everything is provided in one spot. Buffet style meals typically include both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. You also get a cake and fruit juice (which is typically fruit champagne) to toast the countdown. Prices start at around AED 475. It really all depends on your route and the deck you decide on.

The first step in planning your holiday at sea is determining your cruising spot. If you’re a couple or cruising with friends, the Marina offers all the fun you can imagine with Ain Dubai and JBR just steps away. Alternatively, Creek is a great option for families and those who are visiting for the first time. The Canal is great for small groups who appreciate peace and quiet. If you decide to go with a better view, an upper deck is better. However, keep in mind the lower decks are priced at a lower rate due to the air conditioning.

Small adjustments will definitely add to the comfort of your night. You will need to arrive at the docks for boarding around 8-9 pm for a trip that lasts 3 to 4 hours. Roads close at 4 pm for New Year’s Eve, so we recommend the metro or a private transfer.
