New Year in the UAE is celebrated on a grand scale, as are all festive events. A mandatory event is a grandiose midnight firework. There are quite a lot of options for celebrating the New Year in Dubai, and travelers can choose the most convenient New Year's event for themselves. Change winter for summer – go to Dubai to celebrate the New Year 2023!

You can do anything for the New Year in Dubai – any institution will offer you a rich entertainment program. Spend an evening in a restaurant, or hotel, attend a beach party or take a ride on a comfortable yacht. Explore all the festive locations with exotic car rentals like Evolve.ae. This rental company will provide plenty of opportunities to make your holiday even more unforgettable! You can rent a Lamborghini or hire Ferrari – make a gift for yourself! You will also be welcomed at the ski resort or the shopping and entertainment center. Any program will be conquered with comfort and high service. It is better to book seats in advance – New Year's events in Dubai are in great demand.

On the eve of Christmas and New Year, a winter fairy tale is being prepared in Dubai. From November 23, 2022, to January 8, 2023, chalet-style huts, pine trees, a fairground, Santa's grotto, and a letter-sending station for Santa will appear in Expo City (where EXPO 2020 was held). Entrance to Winter City will be free. To immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Christmas, it is better to come to the Winter City on Dec 9.

Despite the warm weather, Dubai is actively preparing for the Christmas and New Year holidays season. A 16-meter Christmas tree decorated with toys and meters of garlands will be placed in Expo City on the territory of the Winter City. It will be placed under the main dome of Al Wasl.

From December 20 to 29, the popular Christmas show "Mrs. Claus Expo 2020" will be launched for the second time, which will include a live entertainment program. Night projection shows, and workshops on making gingerbread, wreaths, and ornaments will be held daily.

Fireworks show

Colorful light shows are held in various parts of Dubai. This year, festive fireworks will be held in the districts of Al Seef, La Mer, and The Beach on December 31, 00:00. We recommend booking a table in advance at one of the restaurants on the coast, from where it is convenient to watch the New Year's performances.

A holiday on the highest level

Kylie Minogue visits Atlantis The Palm, where she performed for the first time at the grand opening of the resort in 2008.

Kylie will take to the Atlantis stage ahead of the countdown to 2023, entertaining guests with music and her most popular compositions.

Yacht cruise

You can watch the festive fireworks on New Year's Eve from the deck of the yacht! Celebrate the New Year on board the wooden dhow Rustar or the incredible yacht Amwaj Al Bahar. Sea vessels ply Creek Bay, and their visitors entertain with a DJ and try a tasty menu, city sightseeing and fireworks are ideally visible from the water.

New Year's luxurious dinner in one of the restaurants

The best restaurants in Dubai are already preparing to welcome guests on New Year's Eve – they are planning an entertainment show and making up a festive menu. Choose one of the new restaurants or spend the main night of the year at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). It is here that the most luxurious restaurants of the city are placed: LPM Restaurant, Zuma, Indochine, and BB Social Dining.

Beach party

What is a New Year's party without dancing? You can celebrate the beginning of the New Year in one of the best city lounges – in the Zero Gravity Beach Club or at the Atlantis resort, The Palm. For those who wish to celebrate 2023 at a height, we advise you to look at the panoramic lounges on the roofs – a stunning view and an incendiary New Year's program are guaranteed to you!
