Dubai NYE fireworks timings

When do the fireworks start?

Every major show fires at midnight on 31 December: Burj Khalifa, Ain Dubai and JBR, Burj Al Arab, and Atlantis on the Palm. Some family destinations also run earlier displays in the evening; those slots are confirmed each December.

The timing that actually decides your night is arrival: 6pm for Downtown, 8 to 10pm for the beaches.

Exact schedules

Final schedules and any early family slots are announced in late December. This page is updated the same day they land, so check back before you fix the evening's plan.
