Burj Khalifa
Back once again to amaze the crowds is Burj Khalifa’s legendary New Year’s Eve fireworks display, set to attract thousands of visitors from all over the world. Last year it was a record-breaking laser show. Special viewing platforms will be set up across the location, but we all know these get full really fast. If you don’t want to be in the thick of things (literally), book a nice restaurant with a view of the fireworks.
