Prices as shown on Atlantis’s own page. The page does not say whether VAT, service charge or booking fees are included.
Every ticket includes Champagne on arrival, the gala dinner buffet and the live entertainment, Atlantis says. Its page does not promise an open bar, so ask before you book.
Do not plan around one start time yet. The press reports a 6pm start, the ticket page that Atlantis links to shows doors at 7pm, and Atlantis’s own page gives no time. The fireworks are at midnight.
The rest is on our Atlantis page. We are not affiliated with Atlantis and sell no tickets.
What galas cost on 31 December 2025
Last season’s Atlantis gala, with Maroon 5, was announced from AED 6,500 per adult. Two days before the night Gulf News listed it from AED 6,900.
Park Hyatt Dubai, on Dubai Creek, advertised a gala from 8pm at AED 2,800 with Champagne and premium beverages.
Across all 211 priced offers we counted, of every kind, the typical starting price was AED 1,195 per person, and about one in five started at AED 2,000 or more. Our cost guide has the spread.
A Downtown gala came with a badge
Last New Year’s Eve restaurant guests in Downtown needed a badge to pass the checkpoints. It had to be collected by 30 December, and the restaurant gave the instructions after the booking. A badge did not let a car through once the roads were closed.
Emaar has not published its programme or put tickets on sale for 31 December 2026 yet. We update this page the day it does.
What to ask before you pay
Is dinner a set menu or a buffet? Which drinks are included, and until when? Is the table mine for the whole night? Where do I stand at midnight, and what will I see?
Almost a quarter of last season’s offers were a minimum spend, not a fixed package. Ask which one you are being quoted, and ask for one total.
Good to know
How much is a New Year’s Eve gala dinner in Dubai?
It varies widely. For 31 December 2026 the Atlantis gala starts at AED 8,500 per person aged 14 and above. Last season Park Hyatt Dubai advertised its gala at AED 2,800 with Champagne and premium beverages, and the typical New Year’s Eve offer of any kind started at AED 1,195.
Does a gala dinner include a fireworks view?
Only if the venue says so for your ticket. Ask whether you see the fireworks from your table or from a shared area.
Do I need a badge for a gala dinner in Downtown?
Last New Year’s Eve (31 December 2025) you did. Restaurant guests collected a badge by 30 December, with instructions from the restaurant. Emaar has not published its programme or put tickets on sale for 31 December 2026 yet. We update this page the day it does.
Does a gala ticket include an open bar?
Not always. Atlantis promises Champagne on arrival with every gala ticket and does not promise an open bar. Ask each venue which drinks are included and until what time.
