The warmest destinations for the New Year celebration

The Christmas atmosphere is already all around. Some are buying Christmas decorations, while others are already preparing for St. Nicholas Day. And many people are still wondering what destination to choose for the New Year's extravaganza where the sun is warming and pleasant. Read below to find out where to go to meet 2025.

Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt

The city is located in the south of the Sinai Peninsula on the Red Sea coast. In winter, the average temperature ranges from 20°C to 25°C. And the water in the sea stays at 23°C-24°C.

Egyptians celebrate New Year's Eve in the fall, but for travelers, they organize European-style celebrations with Christmas trees, Santa Claus, and a gourmet dinner.

The scale of the party depends on the hotel. They also host banquets and shows with famous artists. Keep in mind that New Year's Eve is usually paid for separately. There are also nightclubs here.

We recommend taking a walk in Soho Square. Bars and restaurants are located here. The center is characterized by modern architecture with bright signs and garlands. Here tourists can see a unique Dancing Fountain.

Also, be sure to visit the 1001 Nights entertainment complex. There is an oriental-style palace, as well as souvenir and jewelry shops. In the evening, professional dancers, actors and acrobats perform here.

Colombo, Sri Lanka

The commercial capital and largest city in the country. It is located on the west coast of the island. The climate here is monsoon, so you can come here even during the rainy season - this will definitely not interfere with your vacation. After all, from December to February, the average air temperature ranges from 30°C to 31°C.

On New Year's Eve, fireworks are set off here, and fresh lobsters and king prawns are prepared for a festive dinner.

You can go surfing, sunbathing and meet giant sea turtles in Colombo. One of the most popular beaches is Mount Lavinia Beach.

For atmospheric bays and coconut trees, head to Tangalle. And for diving enthusiasts, we recommend going to Hikkaduwa. It is dominated by coral reefs and rocks.

Be sure to visit the Pettah Floating Market. Once upon a time, partially destroyed warehouses were located here in the middle of a continuous swamp. Later, everything was rebuilt. Today you can buy fruits, vegetables, souvenirs and jewelry here.

Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok is located on the Chao Phraya River near the Gulf of Thailand. The city is considered one of the leading financial and economic centers of Southeast Asia. The climate is sub-equatorial, so the region is warm all year round. From December to January, the average temperature ranges from 30°C to 31°C.

On the eve of Christmas, shopping centers begin the sales season. And fairs are set up on the waterfront. On New Year's Eve, fireworks are set off on the Asiatique The Riverfront, which can last more than 20 minutes. We recommend checking out the Ferris wheel here. Some hotels also offer shows.

By the way, on the Patong Beach in Phuket, foam parties with foreign DJs and performers are organized during the celebration. And on the Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya, you can see an unusual car show.

Be sure to visit the The Grand Palace in Bangkok. Its construction began in 1782. Since the XVIII century, it has served as the residence of the kings of Thailand. Today, the building is the most popular attraction in the country.

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

The city is located in the southern part of the Persian Gulf off the coast of the Arabian Peninsula. The climate here is tropical and desert. Therefore, the capital is considered one of the driest in the world. In winter, the average temperature ranges from 23°C to 26°C.

On New Year's Eve, Abu Dhabi has a unique Christmas tree decorated with jewelry. Also, various shows are organized here and bright fireworks are launched, lasting about 40 minutes.

Interesting fact: drinking alcohol on the streets is prohibited. You will have to pay a decent fine if you break this rule.

Also, be sure to visit Etihad Towers, a complex of five skyscrapers on the Persian Gulf. Here, go up to the 74th floor, where the Observation Deck at 300 is located.

And, of course, visit the Ferrari World amusement park. It is home to the fastest roller coaster in the world. It accelerates up to 240 kilometers per hour. There are also many other attractions for both adults and children.
