Find me a Marina tableDubai Marina on New Year’s Eve means dinner by the water, or a boat. Last New Year’s Eve (31 December 2025) the typical Marina offer started at AED 1,500 per person, across the 9 offers we counted in our cost guide.
The fireworks are next door, at JBR and Bluewaters. A Marina table does not always face them, so ask what you see from your seat.

Sources: our cost guide, Gulf News, Khaleej Times, the Dubai Media Office and RTA. The car, tram and ferry rows are plans announced before the night.
Decide which one the night is. A Marina address can still mean a long walk to JBR or to a berth, so ask the venue or the operator for the exact point to navigate to.
For dinner, the prices Marina and JBR venues have published for this season are in our New Year’s Eve dinner price list. Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel & Suites has published a gala too: see gala dinners.
For a boat, see dinner cruises and yacht parties. For the show, see our JBR and Bluewaters fireworks page.
Under last season’s plan only taxis were allowed on JBR’s main road, and ride-hailing cars and limousines were barred from it between 11pm and 1am. RTA put 700 to 1,000 taxis at JBR for the journey home.
The tram and the metro were timetabled to run through the night.
No official plan for 31 December 2026 is out yet: no road closures, metro hours, beach rules or list of fireworks locations. Last season the plan came on 26 December 2025. We update this page the day it is out.
