How much does New Year's Eve in Dubai cost?

The honest range

Free, if you watch from a public beach and eat before you go. AED 250 to 500 per person for a proper neighbourhood dinner. AED 900 to 2,500+ for premium venues and galas, and beyond that for front-row Burj view tables.

Listed venues on this site currently start from AED 250 per person, with every price shown before you enquire.

What raises the price

Three things: a fireworks view, drinks packages, and midnight-adjacent seatings. Each is worth paying for only if you will actually use it. A party venue with no view often out-delivers a partial-view table at twice the price.

Where the value hides

Jumeirah and Al Barsha dinners near free beach shows, cruises that bundle dinner and view, and any venue honest enough to tell you it has no view and price accordingly. Honesty is cheaper.
