Any grand occasion in Dubai warrants dazzling fireworks and Eid Al Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, warrants some of the brightest of the year. La Mer, Al Seef and Dubai Festival City are gearing up for brilliant shows on the first day of Eid and we’ve narrowed down the best spots to see them.
Dinner and a show at La Mer
Enjoy dinner with a side of razzle-dazzle at one of La Mer’s waterside restaurants. Trendy eateries including Sikka Café, Miyabi Sushi, Catch 22 and Bareburger face the sea and offer diners clear views of the fireworks as they light up the horizon.
The beach at La Mer
Get up close to all the action by grabbing a prime spot right on the sandy beach. You can pick and choose your favourite grub from La Mer’s hottest restaurants for an eclectic beachside picnic while you enjoy the show.

Waterside at Al Seef
Dubai Creek will light up with fireworks on the first day of Eid. Stop by Al Seef by Meraas and book a table at one of the destination’s waterside restaurants for a top-tier view. Check out Dukkan Burger, Al Mangal Express and Al Hamidieh for uninterrupted vantage points.
From a dhow on the Creek
Al Seef is a neighbourhood steeped in history and Dubai Creek forms an integral part of its story. Many tour operators offer creek cruises on a traditional dhow, so book your ride and watch the fireworks from close-up. Make it even more special by sailing aboard Bateaux Dubai, which offers a gourmet dinner for the full experience.
Dine at Sheraton Hotel
Across the river from Al Seef is the Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel and Towers. It’s home to a range of exceptional restaurants like the Creekside Japanese Restaurant, which offers clear views of the water and fireworks. Or travel down the street where a range of quirky cafes and restaurants put you on the other side of the picture.

By the bay at Dubai Festival City Mall
Dubai Festival City Mall’s IMAGINE – a show of laser, lights and water – has designed a special spectacle for the first two days of Eid Al Fitr. Take a break from shopping and gather around Festival Bay early for the closest views of the record-breaking production.
Dine and shine by Festival Bay
Dubai Festival City Mall has a wide selection of culinary hotspots, some of which come with excellent views of IMAGINE’s fireworks. Fanar Restaurant, Texas Roadhouse and Nandos, to name a few, feature delightful international cuisine at varying budgets, which are perfect for the occasion.
