Revealed: Where to watch Eid Al Adha cannons in Dubai- full list of locations
Photo: AFP file The traditional Eid Al Adha cannon salute is returning this year to Dubai, with six designated locations across the emirate confirmed by Dubai Police. The ceremonial cannon fire, a practice deeply embedded in UAE heritage, will take place immediately after the Eid prayer, scheduled for 5:45am.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Tarish Al Amimi, Commander of the Dubai Police Cannons Unit, the Eid cannon is 'a symbolic gesture deeply rooted in the memory and consciousness of the community,' and part of the country's efforts to preserve its cultural identity. If you'd like to witness the cannon fire in person, Dubai Police have confirmed these six sites: 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 cannons are typically fired right after the Eid prayer, so early arrival is recommended if you're attending in person. Dubai Police have completed logistical and safety preparations to ensure the event runs smoothly. Officers will be stationed at each site to manage traffic, crowd movement, and overall safety. Families attending are encouraged to follow on-site instructions and arrive early to avoid congestion. In addition to the cannon events, authorities are ramping up citywide public safety efforts for the Eid Al Adha holiday period. The police have warned motorists against speeding, reckless driving, and traffic violations during the break.
