Atlantis fireworks on New Year's Eve
What happens at midnight
The Palm's crescent fires in sequence around Atlantis, so the show wraps around you instead of rising from a single point. Stand anywhere on the inner Palm and the horizon lights up on three sides.
Where do you watch from?
Palm West Beach faces the show with restaurants right behind you, and The Pointe boardwalk looks straight at Atlantis across the water. Both are free.
Getting on and off the Palm
The trunk road slows badly near midnight. Arrive by 10pm, or take the Palm Monorail and skip the queue entirely.
Where do you watch the Atlantis NYE fireworks for free?
Palm West Beach and The Pointe boardwalk. Both face the crescent show across the water at no cost.
Is the Atlantis fireworks show worth it compared to Burj Khalifa?
It is a different format: the crescent fires around you in sequence rather than from one tower. Locals rate Palm West Beach as the best crowd-to-view ratio in the city.
