It's almost time to ring in the New Year.
There are plenty of places in Abu Dhabi to ring in 2023, however, if you want to see fireworks at midnight (or even three hours before), here are the areas of the city putting on displays.
Al Maryah Island
Al Maryah Island will have a 10-minute fireworks display for New Year’s, which can be viewed from its promenade. There are plenty of restaurants at The Galleria, Four Seasons and Rosewood hotels to book for a prime view of the light spectacle.
Yas Island
Yas Island will host two fireworks shows: the traditional one at midnight and an earlier one at 9pm, which will allow families with younger children to see the light spectacle and still make an early bedtime.
Visitors can head to either Yas Marina or Yas Bay for a view of the displays.
Abu Dhabi Corniche
Continuing a long tradition, visitors can enjoy the light show on the Abu Dhabi Corniche that stretches 8km along the waterfront. There are also restaurants at Nation Towers offering ideal views of the spectacle. Emirates Palace also has a splendid view of the fireworks.
Sheikh Zayed Festival in Al Wathba
The Sheikh Zayed Festival in Al Wathba will host another 40 minutes of fireworks as it tries to break its own Guinness World Records for duration, volume and formation. This includes the largest firework display and a light show with more than 3,000 drones.
Saadiyat Island
Saadiyat Beach Club will host a New Year’s Eve dinner from 7.30pm and a New Year’s Eve after-party from 11pm to celebrate. Those who make a reservation will enjoy a prime viewing spot of the midnight fireworks.

'The worst thing you can eat'
Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.
Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:
Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.
Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.
Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.
Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.
Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
