7 places you can see National Day fireworks in Abu Dhabi
Painting the skies with fire…
It’s no secret that the UAE absolutely loves a firework display.
It often doesn’t even need much of an excuse to launch record-breaking pyrotechnic displays into low-earth-orbit.
It’s a Tuesday *BOOM* a sale has started *WHIZZZ* a sale has ended *BANG*.
You may then be expecting Abu Dhabi to go extra hard then when celebrating the UAE’s 50th National Day. It’s the country’s Golden Jubilee after all, and few things paint national pride quite as theatrically as kaleidoscopic sky fire.
Flying the national colours
Confirmed locations for fireworks on Thursday, December 2, the UAE’s National Day include…
Abu Dhabi Corniche — old faithful. This popular pyrotechnic staging point might have a wall of tower blocks in front of it, but a) that provides plenty of awesome lofty places to view the displays from and b) those colour bursts go high, making the display visible over much of the business end of the city. This display starts at 9pm.
Al Ain — National Day wouldn’t feel like National Day in the Garden City without a few sky bangers. This display starts at 9pm.
