As Ramadan 2026 begins, the city of Dubai is turning the holy month into a festival of light, culture, and community. For the first time, the emirate has planned 30 days of nightly spectaculars, blending tradition with modern celebration to create unforgettable memories for residents and visitors alike.

Every evening after iftar (the meal that breaks the fast), Dubai’s skyline will light up with fireworks displays and drone light shows that paint the night with vibrant colors and creative patterns. These shows are designed not just as entertainment but as shared experiences that unite families, friends, and tourists under the starry Ramadan sky.

The festivities will take place at key cultural and social locations across the city, including Al Seef, Dubai Creek, and Dubai Festival City Mall — places where food, art, and community spirit come together. Alongside the visual spectacles, post-iftar events will welcome lively cultural installations, music, and communal gatherings.

In addition to fireworks and drones, Dubai will host street food festivals, lantern parades, and family-friendly entertainment, reflecting both the spiritual essence and social joy of Ramadan. The use of modern technology in drone shows — creating animated visual art in the sky — adds a futuristic touch to deeply rooted traditions.

Local authorities hope these nightly celebrations will not only strengthen social bonds but also highlight Dubai as a global destination where culture, innovation, and heritage shine together in harmony.
