Sharjah, Dec 25: Sharjah's Al Majaz Waterfront will ring in 2018 with a 10-minute long fireworks display launched from 16 aligned massive barges on New Year's Eve.

Visitors to Al Majaz Waterfront will also witness the new year countdown synchronised with beautiful shows by Sharjah Fountain. "A grand addition of having 16 different launching spots has been designed this year for greater coverage and visibility," organisers said in a statement.

The fireworks can be viewed from multiple locations and destinations in Sharjah, including Al Noor Island, Al Qasba, Flag Island and Khalid Lagoon Corniche.

A new concierge service is being offered this year to ease the process of bookings, especially for visitors coming in from other emirates. "The information desk will assist with restaurant bookings, special requests for balcony views, and will also take in advance bookings for parking spots," organisers added. Mohammed Al Mazrouei, manager of Al Majaz Waterfront, said: "Expect a stellar celebration under the stars at this lakeside destination, with fantastic food, extraordinary entertainment and a show-stopping fireworks display. Visible from practically anywhere along the lagoon and corniche areas in Sharjah plus its surroundings, the fireworks revealed at the stroke of midnight will be something truly spectacular this year."

He advised visitors to come in around 8.30pm.
