Dazzling Firework Displays Around the World

Palm Jumeirah Boardwalk – Dubai, UAE

Another location in Dubai that’s known for their amazing fireworks displays is the Palm Jumeirah and the World Islands — a series of man-made islands that contain some of the most luxurious hotels in the region. Every year, each hotel strives to outdo the others in their New Year’s Eve fireworks displays, and if you’re able to snag a prime seat along the Palm Jumeirah Boardwalk, you can enjoy all of the nearby fireworks all at once.

The Burj Al Arab fireworks and the Burj Khalifa fireworks are visible from the boardwalk, as well as the fireworks from the massive Atlantis resort. If you’re staying at one of the hotels along the islands, they host their own viewing parties on their spacious rooftop decks, so you don’t have to fight for space on the boardwalk.
