Like the years before it, Dubai’s iconic seven star hotel, the Burj Al Arab, will host its widely anticipated fireworks display to ring in the New Year. It makes for one of the city’s most impressive frames, as the fireworks illuminate the hotel’s distinct architecture against the backdrop of the Arabian Sea. One of the best locations to catch this extraordinary show for free is from Kite Beach, a public beach adjacent to Burj Al Arab. The area is likely to get jam packed quickly, so arrive early with the whole family and find yourself the perfect spot to welcome 2019 with a bang. Or, if you have booked a seat at one of Madinat Jumeirah’s many restaurants, you are likely to get a good view of the pyrotechnics at midnight.
