The Burj Khalifa fireworks are on many people’s bucket lists, and it is easy to see why. Visitors come from around the world to see the tallest building in the world light up the sky on New Year’s Eve.

The area around Downtown Dubai gets very crowded and the traffic can be heavy. A cruise on Dubai Creek gives you a relaxed way to enjoy the show, with dinner, music and a good view of the fireworks over Burj Khalifa. Some options also take you near Al Seef and Dubai Festival City.

There are 3 hour Creek cruises and longer luxury cruises to choose from. Check the details on the Efficient Tourism website and book early so you get a good spot.
