Dubai to Fire Cannons at These 6 Spots for Eid Al Adha 2025

Dubai Police have confirmed that cannon fire will once again mark the beginning of Eid Al Adha. On Wednesday, officials announced that all preparations have been completed for the annual tradition.

Cannons will be fired shortly after the Eid prayer, which is set for 5:45 AM in Dubai.

Six Locations Selected for the Cannon Fire

This year, six different areas across Dubai will hear the celebratory blast:

  • Za'abeel Grand Mosque, Za'abeel

  • Eid Musallah, Umm Suqeim

  • Eid Musallah, Nad Al Hamar

  • Eid Musallah, Al Barsha

  • Eid Musallah, Al Baraha

  • Eid Musallah, Hatta

The cannon fire is expected to happen just minutes after the prayer ends.

A Longstanding Tradition in the UAE

Firing cannons during Eid isn’t just for show—it’s a deep-rooted tradition in the UAE. While Ramadan cannon fire signals Iftar, Eid cannons are used to officially declare the start of the holiday.

Dubai continues to preserve this heritage as part of its celebration, bringing a historic touch to modern festivities.
