2024 is just around the corner and with the New Year approaching, it’s time to bid farewell to 2023 in style. You can choose to go dining in your favourite restaurant, have a quiet night in with your family or watch the fireworks at the beach. But there’s actually a very special way you can celebrate the new year and it starts in Abu Dhabi.

In the heart of the Capital sits a very iconic Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental and that’s where the New Year’s Eve Extravaganza is.
