Where to watch the Eid Al Adha fireworks in the UAE



With news that Eid Al Adha will start on September 1, the skies of the UAE are set to light up in celebration. Here is a round-up of where you can best watch the show.

Abu Dhabi

Yas Marina

The show will begin at 9pm on the first day of Eid, and the best place to see it will be on the Yas Marina promenade. Restaurants along the promenade are expected fill up quickly, so make your bookings fast.

Dubai

The Beach, JBR

The Beach at JBR is planning a four-day firework extravaganza, beginning on the first day of Eid. This starts at 8.45pm, but it is a good idea to get there quite a bit earlier to grab a spot as it is likely to get very crowded.

Dubai Festival City

Dubai Festival City will be celebrating with a free fireworks show on the first day of Eid. The show, which is choreographed to music, will take place at 6pm and 9pm. Once again, get there early because this will be crowded.

Sharjah

Al Qasba’s display is set for 10pm. There are plenty of family-related activities and cultural attractions to fill time before the show.

Key findings
  • Over a period of seven years, a team of scientists analysed dietary data from 50,000 North American adults.
  • Eating one or two meals a day was associated with a relative decrease in BMI, compared with three meals. Snacks count as a meal. Likewise, participants who ate more than three meals a day experienced an increase in BMI: the more meals a day, the greater the increase. 
  • People who ate breakfast experienced a relative decrease in their BMI compared with “breakfast-skippers”. 
  • Those who turned the eating day on its head to make breakfast the biggest meal of the day, did even better. 
  • But scrapping dinner altogether gave the best results. The study found that the BMI of subjects who had a long overnight fast (of 18 hours or more) decreased when compared even with those who had a medium overnight fast, of between 12 and 17 hours.

WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE?

1. Black holes are objects whose gravity is so strong not even light can escape their pull

2. They can be created when massive stars collapse under their own weight

3. Large black holes can also be formed when smaller ones collide and merge

4. The biggest black holes lurk at the centre of many galaxies, including our own

5. Astronomers believe that when the universe was very young, black holes affected how galaxies formed
