Fancy a New Year's Eve feast in the desert, with fireworks too?
Sponsored: Spend New Year’s Eve like a Sultan at this unique spot…
Nowhere in the world does New Year’s Eve quite like Dubai – but if it’s a true Arabian experience you’re after on December 31, we know of just the place.
Qasr Al Sultan (which translates to “the Sultan’s Palace”) is a heritage and lifestyle destination located in the Dubai desert, next to Dubai Parks and Resorts.
The stunning venue is home to a boutique hotel and an expansive dining area where you can experience the very best of Arabian hospitality.
Naturally, a big part of that is food – and at Qasr Al Sultan, you’ll find an enormous food bazaar with live cooking stations serving everything from salads to shawarma.
As you wander through the bazaar, plate in hand, you’ll be tempted by the delicious aromas of Middle Eastern spices, freshly baked breads, barbecue, and even a whole slow-cooked lamb.
You can enjoy your feast under the stars, in an open air restaurant strewn with festive fairy lights. It’s a huge space, with all kinds of seating options, from intimate tables to royal majlis with space for up to 30 guests – perfect for a big group of family and friends.
Make sure you get a good view of the stage, because as you dine, you’ll be treated to some of the best entertainment in Dubai.

As well as an international band, you’ll witness amazing dance performances (trust us, you won’t be able to take your eyes off the Tanoura dancer as he whirls around the stage), and traditional Arabian singers.
The very best part? On New Year’s Eve, Qasr Al Sultan will be one of the few places in Dubai where you’ll be able to enjoy a real fireworks display.
A feast AND fireworks in a spectacular desert hideaway? Sounds like a night to remember.
Packages are available for Dhs600 with soft drinks only, and Dhs950 including house beverages. Children aged between five and 12 dine for half price, while under-fives dine free.
