Be warned, this area will be swamped even 5 hours before the fireworks, so make sure you come in early on 31st December and catch yourself a good spot by evening around 6pm. <\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/ba1d7761ea06bdf46ee82ff7fe2b9c0d-BK%203.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=1920&amp;h=1050&amp;fit=min&amp;q=80&amp;crop=faces\" width=\"1761\" height=\"297\" style=\"width: 1761px;\" alt=\"burj khalifa fireworks\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2221443577\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\ud83d\udd25 HOT TIPS \ud83d\udd25<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make a day of it and go upto the 125 or even 148th floor of the Burj while you wait for the clock to strike midnight!<\/li>\n<li>If you are coming from other parts of the city or from other Emirates in the UAE, arrive as early as 6pm to grab a top spot, or make a reservation at one of the many Burj facing restaurants.<\/li>\n<li>Plan ahead as roads and access to the Downtown Dubai are restricted after 8pm for crowd control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2.

Having travelled to most of North India when I was a kid to backpacking across South India in my adulthood, I learnt that you often find your 'self' in the most unpredicted of places. And that is my inspiration to travel. To connect with nature, people and cultures. Books are my companion and I find my soul in trees. Music, yoga and literature is my passion. I often dream of attending a Peruvian wedding or living in a quaint Hungarian town for a while. When I am not writing, I think of the Himalayas or go running.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/just.rohit10\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/x.com\/rohitjadhav786"],"url":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/author\/rohit-jadhav\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7992"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/122"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7992"}],"version-history":[{"count":81,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7992\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":202317,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7992\/revisions\/202317"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
