With up-close views of this year's Burj Khalifa New Year's Eve fireworks show, The Dubai Mall is the perfect viewing position – but you'll need to shell out.



Fast food chain Five Guys is charging Dhs1,500 per person for seats on the waterfront promenade, while if you want to sit a bit further back it'll cost you Dhs1,200.



That comes with unlimited food from the menu throughout the evening, but it's still a pretty pricey package.



Meanwhile, a seat at Canadian coffee shop Tim Hortons will cost Dhs2,000 beside the water, Dhs1,500 in the outdoor seating area or Dhs1,000 inside the lower ground floor restaurant.



You'll get a five-course set menu with a starter, appetiser, soup and dessert of the day – as well as a main course.



We're still waiting for confirmation on prices from the rest of the eateries around The Dubai Fountain, but we'll bring you all the information as soon as we have it.



Alternatively, for Dhs1,500 you can get a bit of a swankier experience at GIA, which is just off Fashion Avenue on the ground floor of the mall.



The five-course Italian menu includes lots of the restaurant's signature dishes – such as carpaccio di manzo and pollo alla cacciatora – with guests taken to an exclusive balcony viewing area just before midnight and handed a gift bag on the way out.



If you'd prefer to save a bit of cash for 2019, then we've rounded up hundreds of the best options for all budgets to welcome in the New Year.

Whatever happens, it’s going to be a great New Year.
