With just two months left until 2018, have friends planning an overseas New Year’s celebration decided on their destination yet? Watching fireworks in the modern and luxurious Dubai, heading to the Nordic countries or Russia to catch the elusive “fireworks from God”—the magical Northern Lights—or joining the spectacular fireworks carnival in Sydney in the southern hemisphere are all great choices. These are also must-visit destinations that every travel lover should experience at least once in their lifetime. Master Travel has also carefully curated related travel plans to celebrate the New Year with you!

Experience Dubai’s unique blend of fashionable and traditional Islamic Middle Eastern charm

Dubai blends the modern with the traditional. As East meets West, old and new customs coexist, creating a striking contrast between ancient traditions and modern civilization. With its warm sunshine, romantic beaches, endless deserts, and mysterious Arabian allure, the city is like a kaleidoscope full of wonder and endless variety. You can ride the monorail to experience cutting-edge transportation technology while exploring, visit the Beach at JBR to shop for locally inspired cultural and creative handicrafts, and take time to appreciate this uniquely charming city.

Watch the fireworks and make a wish to leap into 2018 from the world’s tallest Burj Khalifa

Dubai hosts one of the world’s largest fireworks shows at midnight on the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. The elaborately designed, multi-layered fireworks descend from the 828-meter-high tower accompanied by Arabic music, creating a dazzling and spectacular display. Here, you can also take the world’s fastest elevator up to the observation deck on the 124th floor, reaching the top in just one minute to overlook this desert city filled with modern skyscrapers. Stop by the Dubai Mall, currently the largest and most diverse shopping center in the region, which offers many unique products and is perfect for treasure hunting.

It’s that light again—lie in an aurora glass igloo and wait to welcome a happy new year

Winter in Ivalo within the Arctic Circle of Finland is actually quite lively. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful snowy scenery and go skiing to your heart’s content, but you can also take part in winter activities such as dog sledding and snowmobiling. Of course, waiting to encounter the Northern Lights is the main goal for many travelers here. Especially in the famous ice village of northern Scandinavia, you can lie in a cozy room without stepping outside, and through the glass dome, comfortably gaze at the elusive Northern Lights and admire the stunning starry sky.

Find a New Year’s aurora gift in Santa Claus Village, Rovaniemi, Finland

Waiting for the aurora in a glass igloo is romantic, but visiting the hometown of Santa Claus—Rovaniemi—to see the aurora and rediscover childlike wonder is another delightful aurora adventure. The village has many exquisite souvenir shops, including a post office exclusively for Santa Claus. You might want to buy a card, stamp it with Santa’s special postmark, and send it to yourself or loved ones as a New Year’s gift. There are also plenty of winter outdoor activities here—you can ride a reindeer sleigh through the wilderness forests, sit by the campfire with a cup of steaming coffee, look up to search for the aurora, and explore the mysterious Northern Lights. If you’re lucky enough to see them, it will be the best New Year’s gift ever.

Capture the mysterious “fireworks from God” in Eurasia’s fusion Russia

Russia, independently hovering along the Arctic coast, has always been shrouded in mystery. Spanning both Europe and Asia, it boasts a rich and diverse cultural heritage as a beautiful nation. The Sami Village (Саамская Деревня) on the Gol’dát Peninsula, a settlement of the Sami people, is an open-air museum. The Sami are one of Russia’s oldest indigenous peoples, having lived in northern Europe for thousands of years. They wear traditional Sami clothing, speak their own language, make sausages from squirrel meat, keep foxes as pets, and use reindeer sleighs as their primary mode of transport. The Sami have preserved nearly intact the lifestyle of the previous century. Here, you can experience the traditional customs and local craftsmanship of these Arctic indigenous people, enjoy authentic Sami cuisine, ride a husky sled, and quietly wait for nightfall to hunt for the unforgettable “fireworks from God,” experiencing a different kind of romantic charm in Russia.

Enjoy Sydney’s passionate and vibrant summer New Year’s celebration

Beautiful Sydney is the first city in the world to welcome the New Year, and its classic, dazzling New Year’s fireworks show is ranked among the must-see fireworks displays globally, attracting tourists from around the world. Therefore, on the streets of Sydney, you can feel the enthusiasm and vibrancy of visitors from all over the world. At midnight, as the countdown begins and the clock strikes twelve, fireworks from the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, the sea, and surrounding buildings burst forth in a dazzling display, complementing Sydney’s urban nightlife. The powerful sounds and brilliant visuals create an emotionally moving and exciting spectacle, bringing hope and anticipation for the New Year.
