Have a smooth-sailing NYE on the Island

But here’s a really important tip if you’re visiting one of the culinary concepts, partying at Caesars Palace Dubai, or counting down to midnight fireworks on Bluewaters this NYE.

Parking will only be open to Bluewaters residents, Ain Dubai ticket holders, if you’ve got restaurant reservations or a hotel guest at Caesars Palace Dubai from 1pm. But it’s okay because there’s a FREE shuttle bus that’ll operate from 2pm – 2am at the Jebel Ali metro station. You could also book an RTA taxi, Careem or Uber for doorstep drop-offs.

You could also take advantage of the scenic waters and winter weather and take the Dubai Water Taxi and Dubai Ferry to Dubai Marina. Afterwards, take a leisurely stroll across the walking bridge to Bluewaters from JBR.
