Eid Fireworks

La Mer Beachside fireworks

La Mer’s shoreline will light up with a gorgeous rainbow of fireworks for the first day of Eid Al Fitr. Bring a blanket to roll out on the sand or grass, and gather an eclectic picnic-style dinner with the family from the district’s many trending restaurants. Alternatively, book a dinner to remember at restaurants such as Sikka Cafe, Miyabi Sushi, Bareburger and Falla, which all sit along the waterfront, offering clear views and a variety of delicious meals to suit all budgets and tastes.

When: First day of Eid, 9pm

Dubai Festival City

IMAGINE, a record-breaking water, laser and lights show, has choreographed a bespoke spectacle with fireworks for the occasion. Arrive early as there’s plenty to keep you entertained, including traditional dhow rides, family activities and, of course, stellar shopping at Dubai Festival City Mall.

When: 5-6 June, 8pm and 10pm

Al Seef Along the creek
