4 tips to enjoy watching the New Year's Eve fireworks in Dubai

Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - New Year's Eve in Dubai is usually a mixture of joy, cheer and record numbers that dazzle everyone and make them decide to travel there next time, but chaos is one of the things you can expect on your way to the fireworks sites. Everyone has a plan to get out of their homes.

Here are some important tips that you should follow to enjoy the New Year in Dubai better:

Always check the latest traffic updates

There is no doubt that the roads leading to the fireworks display sites such as Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah will be very crowded, so avoid the main roads such as Sheikh Zayed Road, Jumeirah Beach Road, Al Wasl Street and Zayed bin Mohammed Al Sheikh Street.

Try to arrive early if you can

The point is to get there very early. Crowds usually gather at the site of the fireworks show about an hour or two before time, but that actually means that finding a good spot to watch the fireworks will be impossible.

Bring warm clothes and even a blanket if you like

It's New Year's Eve, which means it's midnight on the first day of January 2017, and the weather in Dubai during this time is shivering cold if you don't wear the right clothes, especially in the beach areas.

Don't follow the crowds and choose good viewing areas

Burj Khalifa is very high and it is the highest in the world, and you can see it from a distance of 95 km. Some people go to get closer to the tower and then discover that the view was not as good as if they were in other areas, so you can go to City Walk Dubai and the Dubai Design District For example.
