Eid Al Adha Celebrations Illuminate UAE Skies with Fireworks
Fireworks mark the beginning of Eid Al Adha, though hot weather affects some planned displays.
Fireworks displays lit up the skies across the United Arab Emirates on Friday night, signaling the commencement of the Eid Al Adha festival.
Yas Bay hosted one of the most prominent shows, attracting crowds to its waterfront venue starting at 9 PM.
Fireworks have become a staple of public holidays and significant events within the UAE, known for their vibrant colors and grandeur.
However, this year's celebrations faced challenges from rising summertime temperatures, prompting many event organizers to reconsider their plans.
Notably, large gatherings with fireworks were planned at venues such as Hazza bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain and Riverland in Dubai.
In contrast, several popular locations opted to forego fireworks entirely this year due to the heat, including The Beach at Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), Bluewaters Island, and Hudayriyat Island in Abu Dhabi.
Additionally, tourism authorities in Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah confirmed the cancellation of their scheduled displays.
For those who participated in the celebrations, the fireworks offered a stunning spectacle and contributed to the festive atmosphere associated with Eid Al Adha.
Employees in the UAE benefit from an extended holiday weekend, with work resuming across the nation on Monday.
