With the festive season around the corner, here’s what you can do this long weekend
1 of 41 FIREWORKS ON YAS ISLAND: Taking place over three nights from the first day of Eid al-Fitr, Yas Island will livestream the vibrant fireworks, which will be set off from the Yas Bay waterfront for the first time. The best part is, each of the shows will last for five-minute, which is ages for a firework show. The events will also be broadcast on the Yas Island Instagram channel at 9pm each night, so everyone can enjoy the show, as gatherings are prohibited as part of the island’s precautionary measures for COVID-19. However, you can still book a table at the terrace of many of the waterfront restaurants there, so you can get front row seats to the experience.

Between January 7 and January 30, 2021 Al Hai will be lighting up Dubai Downtown’s Emaar Boulevard in a dramatic display of alfresco electric art.
It’s one of the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) central cultural events and was conceived in collaboration with esteemed partner, Dubai Culture.
Al Hai – DSF Lighting District is a network of illuminated installations that tell a composite story of Emirati heritage, with grand themes spelled out in buzzing bulbs and sculptures crafted from sustainable materials.
The gallery-under-the-stars is segmented into distinctly decorated districts and is the work of seven talented Emirati and UAE-based artists and architects.
