Dubai Police has confirmed the locations for cannons that will fire to mark the beginning of Eid Al-Adha, with six ceremonial sites selected across the emirate for this year’s celebrations.
The cannons will be fired at the following locations: Grand Zaabeel Mosque, Baraha Eid Mussalah, Nad Al Hamar Musallah, Hatta Eid Musallah, Umm Suqeim Eid Musallah and Al Barsha Eid Musallah.
The Eid cannon tradition remains a cherished part of the UAE’s heritage, symbolising the joy and unity of the occasion. It is used to announce the arrival of both Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha, as well as to mark iftar during Ramadan.
