Being close to the Burj Khalifa show is not the same as seeing it. Ask each venue what you see from your own seat.

Getting there on 31 December 2025
Financial Centre metro station was one of the two stations people were pointed to, with Business Bay, when Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station was due to close to entry from 5pm. That was RTA’s plan as reported by Khaleej Times. The metro was timetabled to run all night.
Lower Financial Centre Road was among the roads closed from 4pm under RTA’s announced plan, and Upper Financial Centre Road followed at 9pm, as reported by Khaleej Times. Our road closures guide has the list.
No official plan for 31 December 2026 is out yet: no road closures, metro hours, beach rules or list of fireworks locations. Last season the plan came on 26 December 2025. We update this page the day it is out.
What to ask before you book
Ask how the venue wants you to arrive once the roads close, and by what time. Then ask for the total in writing: the food, the drinks and any minimum spend.
