Wondering where are the Ramadan cannons located in the UAE for 2025? The new Ramadan cannon locations have been announced
The iftar cannon tradition is back for the sacred month of Ramadan.
The holy month of Ramadan is expected to begin on Friday February 28th, 2025 - however, as with all events that fall under the Islamic calendar, the actual start date will be confirmed closer to the moon sighting.
An annual tradition since the early 1960s, the UAE's Ramadan cannons have become a beloved symbol of the holy month in the emirates, representing the nation's customs and culture. Two shots are fired to mark the beginning of Ramadan and the commencement of Eid. All throughout the 4-week holy month, a single shot is fired each day to mark the end of fasting and the start of iftar.
Whether you're a Muslim or non-Muslim, watching the Ramadan cannons fired is worth seeing at least once as the custom is ingrained in UAE culture and society. In this guide, we cover a complete list of locations of the Ramadan cannons in the UAE for 2025.
