Dubai marks midnight Gulf time with one of the planet's biggest fireworks and light shows, centred on the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. This countdown ticks down to that Dubai midnight, in your own timezone.
Dubai New Year's Eve Fireworks is on Friday, January 1, 2027, which is 201 days away. The live countdown above ticks down to the exact moment, to the second.
Downtown Dubai around the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain is the prime spot, with views also from Burj Park, Dubai Festival City and across the marina. The tower itself becomes a vast LED, laser and pyrotechnic canvas.
Dubai has repeatedly set Guinness World Records for its New Year displays, pairing fireworks with synchronized building lighting watched by crowds across the city and a global TV audience.
