In addition, diverse and impressive fireworks displays will be staged at various locations in Abu Dhabi, including the Corniche, Yas Island, Al Hudayriyat Island and elsewhere.

Dubai is preparing to host 45 fireworks displays at 36 strategic locations on New Year’s Eve 2025. These include iconic tourism, hospitality and commercial sites, catering to visitors from all countries.

Ras Al Khaimah has finished getting ready to enthrall tourists with spectacular performances, such as laser-effect drone displays and fireworks. The 15-minute show, called Our Story in the Sky, is the longest Ras Al Khaimah has ever organized for the New Year’s festivities, and the emirate hopes to break new Guinness World Records during it.
