In Al Ain, two open-air concerts took place at Jahili Fort on December 2 and 3, which were streamed live on Abu Dhabi Culture’s social channels.
La Mer in Dubai also hosted dazzling fireworks displays on Wednesday evening. To set the mood for the long weekend, La Mer Central will also host live performances by local singers including Sara Tarabulsi and Beatbox Ray. Catch these acts from December 2 to 4 between 4pm and 9pm.
Meanwhile, the UAE National Day fireworks display and live concert scheduled to take place at Dubai's The Pointe on Wednesday were cancelled.
Organisers cited ‘safety reasons’ for the cancellation of the show which was supposed to commence at 9 pm at the Palm Fountain.
"Due to safety precautions, all firework display shows at The Palm Fountain will be cancelled until further notice. Furthermore, the live orchestra will no longer perform as expected. Palm Fountain shows will go on as usual," said a statement issued by organisers.
The property also took to Instagram to announce that the ‘fireworks show was cancelled due to new regulations imposed’, however, a magical fountain show ‘Let’s Aim for the Sky’ took place at 6pm as scheduled.
