True to its reputation as a city of spectacle, the emirate will roll out 48 fireworks displays spread across more than 40 iconic venues<\/strong>, putting on a spectacular show that can be seen across the city. From the Burj Khalifa to Palm Jumeirah, via Expo City, Dubai Festival City and Bluewaters, every neighbourhood will be taking part in this exceptional night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This large-scale organisation enables Dubai to offer an immersive and accessible experience, preventing excessive crowding in any one area whilst ensuring a high-calibre spectacle throughout the emirate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhanced transport services for a stress-free night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make it easier to get to the venues where the celebrations are taking place, Dubai has put in place exceptional transport arrangements. The The metro will run non-stop for 43 hours<\/strong>, with more frequent services on the busiest routes. Some free shuttle buses<\/strong> will also be introduced in several key areas, accompanied by free car parks<\/strong> on the outskirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
