Meraas’ leading destinations offer some exciting ways to ring in the new year on 31 December. From colourful fireworks displays to live bands and bouncing beach parties with Dubai’s top DJs, Meraas has your NYE celebrations covered.
Watch the skies light up with New Year fireworks at La Mer, the world-class beachfront destination, against the scenic backdrop of the Arabian Gulf. Explore the culinary delights at Al Seef’s Creekside restaurants that offer the best views of the fireworks and soak up the destination’s old-world charm while you’re at it. And if a sandy start to 2020 is your thing, head to The Beach, Meraas’ laid-back beachfront destination, and enjoy live band performances, followed by dazzling fireworks.
And there’s more. The Beach, La Mer and Kite Beach will transform into open-air party stages as DJs Mister Ash, Martin Avari and Kingoo spin catchy tunes throughout the night. La Mer will host a road show by Virgin Radio, where visitors can win exciting prizes. The beachfront destination will also put on a scintillating laser show, while an immersive LED light show with special effects and captivating visuals lights up the night at Kite Beach, with fire dancers getting their groove on nearby.
If you’re in the mood for a more tranquil celebration, head down to Boxpark to make the most of the final days of Gingerbread Land and relish your last meal of 2019 at one of the destination’s eclectic dining outlets that provide a prime vantage point to watch the fireworks at La Mer. You can also head to Bluewaters for a long weekend of fireworks and entertainment for the whole family.
City Walk will be decked out in glitter, lights and New Year’s finery for a night of celebrations. A saxophone player, ribbon dancers and live bands on three stages across the destination will count you down to 2020 with an explosion of confetti and sparkles. Be sure to drop by the design-inspired open-air lifestyle destination on 1 January as celebrations continue with a three-piece band and a street guitarist.
