While every resident of Dubai knows about the Burj Khalifa fireworks at the main New Year event, most people avoid standing and waiting for hours for a glimpse of the fireworks. These days most people prefer to watch them while having their dinner on the water in Creek Luxury Yacht, with the added bonus of watching the midnight show from the boat. The fireworks cruise on the yacht lasts 3 hours, and from the boat you get a clear view of both Burj Khalifa’s and Dubai Festival City’s fireworks.
For a luxury feel on the night, embark from Al Seef where there’s a red carpet entry and a welcome drink. While the yacht cruises slowly along the Creek, have your fill from the BBQ buffet with a side of DJ entertainment and a performance from a Tanoura dancer. All cruises also include soft drinks and water, along with the celebratory New Year’s Cake. There’s an advantage of seating being assigned to avoid a free-for-all on what will be a busy night.
This takes some preparation, as the cruise operates from 10 PM to 1 AM, so avoid traffic jams on Al Seef and take the metro to the Burjuman station. The cruises sell out fast, and since this is a popular choice, be quick to book. The starting price of AED 549 can be compared with others on the NewYearCelebrationDubai page before you finalize.
