Dubai Ramadan canon is an ancient tradition that started in Egypt and then spread to many parts of the world. This tradition especially surrounded Muslim countries including Dubai and UAE. In Dubai, before the adhan of Maghreb, a cannon is used to fire a single shot. This fire informs people about the time of the iftar during Ramadan. Then Muslims get to open the iftar as the sun-set. Since 1930 this has been a part of the tradition of Dubai, UAE. Local TV stations broadcast this memorable experience live. Additionally, you can visit different locations in Dubai such as the Dubai Creek or the Burj Khalifa to witness the firing of the cannon in person. Dubai Ramadan Cannon Live 2023!
