New Year’s Eve at Dubai Creek Harbour: the gates, the parking and the view
No Dubai Creek Harbour venue is listed with us yet. 2 venues have published their own offers: see the open listings below. Tell us your group size and budget and we will look for a table, at no cost to you.
Find me a Creek Harbour tableFrom Dubai Creek Harbour you can watch Downtown from a distance. Last New Year’s Eve (31 December 2025) Emaar also ran its own New Year’s Eve event here, with its own event guide, and the area was on the list of fireworks locations printed by Gulf News.
Emaar’s blog called it the calmer of its two fireworks places. Emaar’s guide gives no times, so this page has none.

The view
Gulf News wrote that the sightlines here often include Downtown in the distance, and that access points may be managed on the night. The paper also listed the Dubai Creek Harbour Viewing Point among four places to see the Burj Khalifa fireworks from afar.
A distant view is a smaller thing than standing under the show. Is that the night you want?
Not the same place as Dubai Creek
Dubai Creek Harbour is a different place from Dubai Creek. Check the address before you book anything with Creek in its name.
Other shows on that side of the city last season: fireworks over Dubai Creek at Al Seef, listed for 11:59pm, and at Festival Bay at Dubai Festival City Mall, at 8:30pm every night of the Dubai Shopping Festival.
Good to know
Does Dubai Creek Harbour have its own fireworks on New Year’s Eve?
Last New Year’s Eve (31 December 2025) Emaar ran its own event there, and Dubai Creek Harbour was on the lists of fireworks locations printed by Gulf News and Khaleej Times. Emaar’s guide gives no times. Emaar has not published its programme or put tickets on sale for 31 December 2026 yet. We update this page the day it does.
Is Dubai Creek Harbour the same as Dubai Creek?
No. They are different places. If you book a cruise or a hotel, check which one the address means.
Is Dubai Creek Harbour quieter than Downtown?
Emaar’s own blog called it the calmer of its two fireworks places. We found no crowd figures for it. Parking was first come, first served, so go early.
