The next public holiday is nearly upon us and we can’t wait to celebrate.
Although we don’t know the exact Eid Al Fitr dates for 2025 just yet, we do know that there are already some dazzling fireworks displays lined up across the city across the extra long weekend. Eid Al Fitr is predicted to start either on Sunday, March 30, or Monday, March 31, but this won’t be confirmed until closer to the time. This means we will have at least four days off work (including the weekend) and have plenty of time to see the sky light up with pretty colours.
Here’s a guide to the biggest and best fireworks shows across Dubai for Eid Al Fitr weekend.
