The public holiday is nearly upon us and we could not be more excited.

We now know that the Eid Al Fitr break starts on Monday April 8 and with that comes days of celebration in Dubai.

And every Eid Al Fitr, the skies light up across the city with colourful displays of fireworks to celebrate the start of the holiday.

There will be three consecutive days of shows which will be free to attend dotted around different Dubai hotspots.

The impressive skyline will be the backdrop for three shows and you can even see the mountainside at Hatta lit up with a fireworks show.

Starting from Wednesday April 10, here are the big fireworks shows across Dubai worth keeping in your diary.

Dubai Festival City Mall, April 10

The Dubai Festival City Mall never misses an opportunity to get involved in fireworks celebrations in the city and with the impressive displays they normally put on it’s easy to see why. You can catch the display from 8pm.
