As the New Year’s Eve countdown gets underway in Dubai, plans are afoot to make it a celebration to remember, a statement said.

Festival goers will be able to catch displays at 10 different locations including Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, Al Seef, The Beach, La Mer, The Pointe, Global Village, The Dubai Frame, Dubai Festival City Mall, and Atlantis, The Palm.

Global Village will also welcome the New Year with seven different firework shows just as the clock strikes midnight in seven different countries.

For those who want to dance the night away and start 2020 with their favourite pop stars, five concerts are taking place across Dubai to suit every taste.

Legendary American rapper Nelly will perform at Drai’s Dubai, while WHITE Beach’s first New Year’s Eve celebration will see R&B singer Ne-Yo perform all his hits.
