Fujairah: The General Command of Fujairah Police has completed all necessary procedures to launch the Ramadan iftar cannon, which is meant to inform people about the time to end their fast. The cannon will be initially placed outside Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Fujairah.

This mobile cannon will also be taken to several areas in Fujairah during Ramadan, as is the custom during the month.

Firing of the iftar cannon is part of the UAE heritage and is considered as one of the distinctive symbols associated with Ramadan.

Major General Mohammad Ahmad bin Ghanem Al Kaabi, Commander-in-Chief of Fujairah Police, said firing of the cannon will be shown live on the Fujairah Channel.
