Sharjah is preparing to welcome 2026 with an array of spectacular celebrations across the emirate on December 31, offering residents and visitors diverse entertainment options ranging from pyrotechnic displays to cultural experiences. The coastal city will illuminate its skies at midnight with synchronized fireworks shows at three prime locations: Al Majaz Waterfront, Al Heera Beach, and Khorfakkan Beach, ensuring panoramic viewing opportunities throughout the region.
Preceding the midnight spectacle, Al Heera Beach will feature hourly laser, fire, and LED performances from 9:00 PM to midnight across three designated clusters. Simultaneously, Khorfakkan Beach will present its own laser and fire displays commencing at 8:30 PM across two phases. Al Majaz Waterfront will enhance the festive atmosphere with live musical performances, including saxophone shows at 8:30 PM and 10:30 PM, followed by accordion performances at 9:30 PM and 11:30 PM in Block A.
For premium viewing experiences, beachside restaurants at all three main venues are offering reserved tables with front-row perspectives of the fireworks extravaganza. Those seeking unconventional celebrations can opt for Al Noor Island’s exclusive starlit event, featuring specialized dining, complimentary skywatch sessions, and self-guided tours priced at AED 340 for adults and AED 150 for children under twelve.
