Dubai at New Years?

Our cruise will be docked in Dubai for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day and we wanted to know what may be open or closed on those two days.

In particular on New Year's Day, which I read was a holiday in Dubai, will the Burj Khalifa be open for tours to the 148th floor? What about the Dubai Museum--will it be open either day?

We were just in Dubai for New Years Eve and Day. We stayed on board for New Years Eve as all roads around the Burj Khalifa were closed by 4 and we docked at 2.30. On New Years Day, all was open as usual. Lots of taxis on the dock but we did the HOHO, which included a free shuttle to the Dubai Mall, which is next to the Burj.

Thanks Powell for the info. Were you able to see any fireworks from your ship?
