Dubai Properties (DP), a leading real estate developer, said its properties - Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) and Business Bay in Dubai, UAE - will both host special celebrations to mark the beginning of the New Year in style.

JBR will mark the new year with a massive retro clock 3D mapped on Rimal Sector counting down the seconds along with synchronised music, while Business Bay will entertain visitors and children with live magic and comedy performances, arts and crafts, face painting, music and much more at Bay Avenue.

Everyone is invited to celebrate the event at one of the destinations which will feature distinguished food and beverage (F&B) venues at both destinations, said a statement from DP.

Dedicated chill-out seating areas will be set up with bean bags to accommodate the whole family, it added.

Mohammed Bin Essa, the executive director (Retail & Commercial Properties) said: "Dubai Properties offer world-class entertainment and cultural experiences for Dubai’s residents and visitors, which contribute to enhancing Dubai’s image as a leading global tourist and leisure destination."

"New Year’s Eve at JBR and Business Bay will be no exception, and we anticipate thousands of Dubai’s residents and visitors to celebrate the birth of 2016 with us there," he added.

According to him, the festivities come as a final celebration to wrap up another great year at JBR and other DP destinations which have always been favourite venues for Dubai’s residents and visitors.

"The introduction of a multitude of seasonal events and activities draw in the crowds and enrich the lives of residents and visitors with a wide range of offerings to suit every taste," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
