Burj Khalifa NYE: viewing and access guide

The night you are planning

This guide is for the evening of 31 December 2026, welcoming 2027 at 00:00 on 1 January, Dubai time. Use Emaar’s current announcement for the confirmed show programme, ticketing and access.

Burj Park and public viewing are different

Emaar’s published arrangements for 31 December 2025 made Burj Park a paid event with ticket and badge requirements. Do not include it in a free-viewing plan for 2026. Officially designated public viewing zones are a separate option, subject to the current season’s access rules.

If you are booking a view table

Confirm the view from your selected seating, any obstructions and whether midnight viewing requires moving to another area. Ask the restaurant for its arrival deadline and any current admission badge or wristband instructions.

Arrival and the journey home

Previous-season road closures and station controls depended on the event plan and crowds. Use the latest RTA and Emaar instructions for your route. Extended service last year does not guarantee a particular station or return time this year.
