Here are some of the venues that are set to put on a dazzling show.

Abu Dhabi

The Capital's Yas Island will showcase a vibrant fireworks display from the first day of Eid Al Adha.

Taking place over three nights, the show will take place at 9pm every night from the Yas Bay waterfront.

However, due to stringent Covid-related safety protocols put in place to limit the spread of the virus during the holidays, the festive display can only be enjoyed virtually this year.

Yas Island’s social media channels will be livestreaming the fireworks for all to enjoy, as gatherings are currently prohibited in keeping with the island’s precautionary measures.

Dubai

The Emirate's most iconic landmark will light up with special greetings during the Eid Al Adha holidays.

Starting from the first night of Eid Al Adha on July 20 at 8pm, fireworks will continue for the next two nights at Madar Aljada, the popular entertainment destination, and Nasma Central, the new lifestyle hub at Nasma Residences community in Al Suyouh district.
