Those living in Sharjah can expect a spectacular fireworks display at Al Majaz Waterfront (MWF) on New Year's Eve. The family destination has announced that it will be ushering 2020 with a 10-minute long show. Visitors will get a chance to enjoy the spectacle, which will be launched from 16 barges, as well as the sight of the Sharjah Fountain light up in multi-coloured splendour.

“Over the past few years, Al Majaz Waterfront has become the go-to destination for revellers from across the emirates,” says Al Majaz Waterfront's general manager, Marwah Obaid Al Shamsi. “During the last two years, MWF has attracted thousands of visitors on the occasion of New Year’s Eve.”

Visitors are advised to come early this year to avoid the traffic. A concierge service will be available to ease the process of booking.

“Visitors and families can enjoy a scrumptious dinner and watch the dazzling fireworks from unique viewing spots in one of the many restaurants facing MWF fountain,” Al Shamsi added.
