Where to see UAE National Day fireworks in Dubai
Celebrate the UAE…
The United Arab Emirates is turning 51 on December 2, 2022, and to celebrate in true Dubai fashion, there are going to be celebratory fireworks taking place around the city that you don’t want to miss.
Besides this, there will of course be a jam-packed lineup of events, retail promotions, concerts, and family-friendly activities. And, remember, we will also get a public holiday, though this is yet to be announced officially by the UAE government.
Here’s where you can watch the fireworks in Dubai on UAE National Day
The Pointe, Palm Jumeirah
Retail and entertainment destination on Palm Jumeirah is celebrating UAE National Day with fireworks on Friday, December 2 at 9pm.
