Why Dubai Fires Cannons During Ramadan?

The fasting month of Ramadan is a special time in Dubai, marked by traditions honoring the spiritual season. Every evening during Ramadan, the booming sound of cannons can be heard across the UAE at sunset. In Dubai, the police force operates the special cannons with blank cartridges at the city's popular tourist spots (In this case EXPO CITY), as curious visitors gather to witness the spectacle. Some historians say the custom began in 10th-century Egypt to let people know it was time for break their fast (iftar). In Dubai, it dates back to the 1960s, when there were no speaker systems in mosques to announce that it was time to break the day's fast. The cannons are believed to have been manufactured in Britain back in 1945. The beloved tradition lives on, even as neighbourhood mosques now sound the call to prayer, known as adhan, using state-of-the-art loudspeakers. #ramadan #ramadanindubai #cannon #cannonfirediftartime #4k #4kvideo #travelvlog #dubaiadventures #dubaiattractions #dubaicity #dubaiculture #dubaientertainment #expocitydubai #دبي
