Why fire a cannon?
Most mosques in the UAE had muezzins or the person who calls to prayer, they did not have loudspeakers, until a few decades ago. The cannon was the best way to let people know that it was time to end their fasts. The practice of firing a cannon to mark the end of fasting started in Sharjah in 1930, in Dubai, it started in 1960 and in Abu Dhabi in 1970. They fire around 200 cartridges across Dubai during Ramadan and Eid from the six cannons. Each cannon is fired twice in a row to announce Ramadan, once every day to announce Iftar and twice in a row to announce Eid and again twice in the morning of Eid, after Eid prayers.
