In terms of Iftar cannons, it is a tradition dating back to the 1960s, and in 2022, over 10 locations across Dubai celebrated Ramadan by firing cannons. One shot is fired to mark the end of daily fasting during the holy month of Ramadan, signalling the beginning of Iftar. It brings communities together and adds more to the festive spirit of Ramadan.
