The world is facing challenges, but we are united, and we will come out of this year stronger than ever before. We want to send a message of hope, happiness and positivity into the world because that is the spirit of Dubai that we have learned from His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who continues to inspire what we do with his extraordinary leadership. Here we reinvent ourselves, achieve the impossible and execute the unimaginable, and we are doing that again with Emaar NYE 2021."

Downtown Dubai will be adorned with spectacular decorations to capture the festive spirit of the occasion. The fireworks and laser & light show will be synchronised to The Dubai Fountain Show and promises to reflect a true celebration of Dubai.
