The avant-garde eco-leisure destination in Sharjah, Al Noor Island will be hosting its
first-ever New Year’s Eve gala to usher in 2019 in the UAE. The lush green island flanked by the azure waters of the Khalid lagoon promises guests an evening of luxurious dining against an ambient backdrop of live music, followed by a countdown to the new year, and shoreline views of the spectacular fireworks show at the stroke of midnight.

What sets this destination apart from any other in the country is the fact that this 45,470 sqm development by the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) has brought nature, art and entertainment together to coexist in perfect harmony.

“The experience of being surrounded by these unique elements, dining with friends and family under the glow of Sharjah’s sky during New Year’s Eve fireworks at Al Noor Island shore, will be nothing short of spectacular” says Mahmoud Rashid Al Suwaidi, General Manager of Al Noor Island.

“The New Year’s Eve festivities will begin at 10:00 pm and continue for 2.5 hours, allowing guests to enjoy their dining experience at a leisurely pace, while immersing themselves in the serenity of their surroundings, with live music playing throughout the night. The island is also strategically located in a way that it offers the best seats in the house for the Al Majaz Waterfront fireworks” he adds.
