Dubai’s streets are sparkling this Ramadan, with dazzling light displays celebrating unity, culture and creativity

 

It’s that time of year when Dubai pulls out all the stops and lights up the city like a canvas painted in gold.

Ramadan has well and truly arrived, and with it, a vibrant explosion of lights, lanterns and projections that transform Dubai into a true festival of shimmer.

From the bustling streets of Jumeirah to the charming alleys of Al Khawaneej, you can’t help but feel the magic in the air.

It’s your chance to experience streets bathed in the glow of intricate designs, mosques shining with delicate lanterns, and landmarks projecting mesmerising light shows that capture the essence of Ramadan.

It’s a visual celebration of everything this holy month stands for, unity, generosity, and a deep respect for tradition.

This year’s showstopper?

Anwaar Dubai. A cultural explosion that’s been curated to perfection by Brand Dubai, with support from both public and private sectors.

The magic isn’t confined to one corner of the city: it’s everywhere.

Every turn you take, another stunning light display awaits, making it impossible not to feel the festive energy.

So, if you’re in Dubai this Ramadan, make sure you carve out some time to wander the illuminated streets.
