Festive lights transform the skyline of Abu Dhabi ahead of Eid Al Adha.
Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi City Municipality has installed 3,800 decorative light displays across Abu Dhabi Island and mainland areas ahead of Eid Al Adha, as part of efforts to celebrate the holiday and enhance the capital’s urban landscape in Abu Dhabi.
The project, carried out in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, features illuminated festive messages and geometric designs inspired by Islamic art and calligraphy.
Khaled Allaq Al Hammadi, Project Monitoring Manager at Abu Dhabi City Municipality, said the initiative reflects the municipality’s commitment to improving quality of life and strengthening Abu Dhabi’s urban identity by blending cultural heritage with modern design.
The decorations include greetings such as “Eid Mubarak” and “Wishing You Well Every Year,” with lighting structures ranging from 2 to 4 metres in size.
The municipality said all installations were designed to meet safety and environmental standards, using energy-efficient lighting and recyclable, weather-resistant materials. Specialised technical teams are also carrying out continuous monitoring to ensure quality and performance across the displays in Abu Dhabi.
