Where to Watch the Ramadan Fireworks Shows in Dubai?

As Ramadan 2026 unfolds, Dubai’s night skies are set to sparkle with daily fireworks displays — a festive highlight for families, visitors and residents gathering after iftar (sunset) to enjoy culture, community and celebration across the city. Here’s your guide to catching the best fireworks shows and when they happen this Holy Month.

Daily Fireworks at Al Seef & Dubai Creek

Dates: 19 February – 19 March
Time: Shortly after sunset (approx. 7:30 PM – 8:00 PM depending on sunset each day)

One of the most scenic places to view Ramadan fireworks is along Al Seef and the Dubai Creek waterfront. With historic architecture and water reflections setting the backdrop, families and friends gather here nightly once darkness falls — typically soon after iftar and taraweeh prayers.

Festival Bay at Dubai Festival City Mall

Dates: 18 February – 28 March
Shows: Fireworks part of broader nightly entertainment

At Festival Bay, the fireworks are accompanied by waterfront dining, cultural performances and evening festivities. While specific launch times vary with sunset, fireworks here are best enjoyed after dusk as part of the larger “Ramadan by the Bay” experience that runs many evenings throughout the Holy Month.

City Walk & The Beach, JBR — Laid-Back Viewing

Dates: City Walk (17 Feb – 18 Mar) | The Beach, JBR (18 Feb – 22 Mar)

Other great spots to catch light displays and celebratory ambience include City Walk and The Beach, JBR. These areas don’t always have scheduled rockets like Al Seef or Festival City, but the higher vantage points and open skies make them popular for spotting fireworks and soaking in Dubai’s vibrant Ramadan atmosphere after sunset.

Helpful Viewing Tips

• Arrive after sunset: Ramadan fireworks typically begin after iftar and evening prayers — meaning around 7:30 PM to 8:00 PM depending on the time of sunset that day in Dubai (which shifts slightly during the month).
• Combine with dinner or a stroll: Most fireworks displays are near popular dining and promenade areas, so plan for iftar first and stay for the show.
• Bring a camera or phone: Waterfronts like Al Seef and Festival Bay offer unforgettable reflections of fireworks over water — ideal for photos and family memories.

From the heritage charm of Al Seef to bustling Festival Bay and cool city waterfronts, Dubai’s Ramadan fireworks add sparkle to nightly gatherings throughout the Holy Month — lighting up skies and marking another year of celebratory tradition across the emirate.
