Cascade of fireworks and LEDs on Burj Khalifa at New Year

  ### Playbook

  - Book restaurants with views months in advance.  
  - Arrive hours early for public areas; road closures start mid‑afternoon.  
  - Use metro (special schedules) and patience.

  #### Where to stand

  - Souk Al Bahar bridge for balanced compositions.  
  - Farther back near Burj Park for full‑height frames.  

  > Safety: Stick to official viewing zones and follow RTA guidance.
