The road closures map released by Dubai Roads and Transport Authority to facilitate smooth movement of revellers during the NYE celebrations. Closures of roads in and around Downtown Dubai will come into effect starting at 4pm today in a phased manner.

As Dubai prepares to welcome 2026 with a world-class spectacle at the Burj Khalifa, authorities are prioritising a seamless experience for the 2.7 million people expected to move across the city.

With 48 firework displays planned across 40 locations, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has unveiled a massive traffic and transport master plan to ensure smooth traffic flow and ample parking.
