Dubai is constantly changing. There is never a dull day in the emirate and as we prepare to say hello
to 2025, we’re also preparing for a whole host of new Dubai laws to be introduced.

As the clock strikes midnight, it’s a time for New Year’s resolutions to kick in. And the city’s

day-to-day life when it comes to getting around the city, going out and even ordering your morning
coffee.

And, to save you time while you’re party planning for New Year’s Eve, we’ve got the quick details on
what’s changing at the start of 2025 so you’re not caught off guard.
