Dubai Police have finished all the work needed to set up special cannons that will be used to announce the start of Eid Al Adha. These cannons will be fired at six different places across Dubai.

Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Tarish Al Amimi, who leads the Dubai Police Cannon Team, shared that the Eid cannon is a very important tradition in the UAE. It is a big part of the country’s culture and history, and many people in the community look forward to it every year.

He explained that the cannons will be fired at six selected locations. These include the Za’abeel Grand Mosque in Za’abeel, and the Eid prayer grounds (called Musallahs) in Umm Suqeim, Nad Al Hamar, Al Barsha, Al Baraha, and Hatta.

This traditional cannon-firing event is a joyful way to let everyone know that Eid has started. Families often gather to watch the cannon go off, making it a special moment for all.

Dubai Police have made sure that everything is ready so people can enjoy this celebration safely and happily.
