Every evening during Ramadan, the booming sound of cannons can be heard across the UAE at sunset. The police across all emirates operate the special cannons with blank cartridges at the city's popular tourist spots as curious visitors gather to witness the spectacle.  In this 4-part Ramadan Diaries, we take you through some interesting traditions followed in the UAE the Holy Month, starting with cannon firing. The tradition lives on, even as neighbourhood mosques now sound the adhan on loudspeakers.  #RamadanInUAE #cannonfiring #mydubai
