The United Arab Emirates continues its tradition of hosting world-class New Year’s Eve celebrations, with Ajman announcing four distinct locations for spectacular fireworks displays to welcome 2026. The emirate has curated diverse experiences across its territory, offering residents and visitors multiple options to witness the sky burst into color at midnight.
Ajman Corniche, the prominent waterfront promenade overlooking the Arabian Gulf, will serve as a primary celebration hub. Known for hosting social events, this family-friendly location will feature fireworks opposite the Ajman Saray Hotel, combining coastal views with pyrotechnic brilliance.
The Al Jarf area will transform into a vibrant celebratory venue, with fireworks displays opposite both Ajman Boulevard and Festival Land. This urban setting provides convenient access for those seeking a metropolitan celebration atmosphere.
For those preferring a mountainous escape, the Al Manama area offers a unique alternative. Located approximately one hour from the city center at the foothills of the Hajar Mountains, this serene location features historic fortresses and tranquil natural surroundings for a peaceful transition into the new year.
Masfout, recently designated ‘Best Tourist Village in the World’ by the United Nations Tourism Organisation, presents a picturesque rural celebration. The fireworks will illuminate the agricultural lands and farms at Swyir Park, coinciding with the ongoing Nasamat Masfout Festival, blending traditional activities with celebratory displays.
Beyond the pyrotechnic spectacles, Ajman’s Media Office encourages visitors to experience additional New Year events, including the Ajman Food Festival at the Heritage District. This historic area, home to Ajman Museum and the Old Saleh Souk, provides cultural depth to the celebratory offerings.
The UAE maintains its reputation for record-breaking New Year’s Eve productions, with 2026 expected to continue this tradition of excellence through coordinated celebrations across all emirates.
