A magnificent 10-minute long display of fireworks was organised by the Al Majaz Waterfront destination in Sharjah to ring in 2019. Visitors to the family leisure destination were left spellbound to see the emirate’s skies illuminated in a rainbow of colours, after an energetic countdown that signaled the stroke of midnight.

The fireworks show was synchronised with fantastic displays by the Sharjah Musical Fountain, and launched from 16 massive barges aligned in the middle of Khalid Lagoon to offer thousands of spectators encircling the lagoon, both from outdoor destinations as well as their residences, a perfect view. 

New year revelers who chose to dine al fresco from local to international restaurants at Al Majaz Waterfront were not just treated to the spectacular fireworks show, but special valet parking services, children’s entertainment and lot more.  

Marwa Obaid Al Shamsi, General Manager of Al Majaz Waterfront, said: “It was an absolute delight hosting thousands of visitors who came in with near and dear ones to celebrate one of the most special occasions of the year to Al Majaz Waterfront. We are deeply committed to offer exceptional services and entertainment to our guests, and are keen on offering new and exciting features every year.”

She added: “Our biggest success is in our clientele recognising our efforts and coming back every year to celebrate with us. Gratitude to the Al Majaz Waterfront management for putting up another memorable show, and wishing that the new year will bring peace and prosperity to us all.”  

Al Majaz Waterfront is a popular leisure destination among UAE’s residents, and a key tourist attraction on Sharjah’s Khalid Lagoon. It hosts a variety of artistic and entertainment activities through the year, including film screenings, stage shows, and is considered one of the best organisers of the UAE’s New Year’s Eve fireworks. 

An eclectic mix of local and international food and beverage outlets, including Al Fanar Restaurant & Café, Pizzaro, Sutis, TGI Friday’s, Zahr El-Laymoun, Caribou Coffee, Shakespeare and Co, Tim Hortons café, Cold Stone and Zaroob, Al Rawi Café, Amorino Gelato Café, Ushna Restaurant, Levantine, Elli Café, Fruit Gang, Molten Chocolate, Jelly Belly, and Dunkin Café, is flanked by the lagoon on one side and some the city’s most stunning architecture on the other.
