As the clock struck midnight, Dubai erupted in a display of light, marking the arrival of 2024.

The crown jewel lay in the heart of Dubai, where hotels overlooking the iconic Burj Khalifa boasted 100 per cent occupancy. Every room with a view of the world's tallest building was snapped up to witness the Burj Khalifa's annual fireworks extravaganza.

Throughout the city, Dubai hosted fireworks displays at 32 locations including The Beach and Bluewaters, Palm Jumeirah, Kite Beach, and others.

Global Village invited guests and visitors from all around the world to join its New Year celebration, marking New Year seven times.

Visitors witnessed stunning fireworks displays every hour starting from 8 pm.

Riverland Dubai offers its visitors the opportunity to witness fireworks along the riverbanks and laser shows decorating the sky.
