Drone show in Sharjah: a falcon and the symbols of the emirate
DRONICO opened the 15th Sharjah Light Festival with a drone show on the first night, working with Sharjah Tourism. Our show flew over one site, above an illuminated facade.
The festival itself ran from 3 to 15 February 2026 under the theme “Reflections of Belonging” and turned the architecture of locations across the emirate into an open-air gallery of light.
What the drones drew
The show was built from symbols that read instantly in Sharjah rather than from abstract patterns. Above the illuminated facade the drones formed, one after another:
- a falcon with open wings, while falcons in flight ran across the facade below in projection;
- an open book;
- a dallah, the Arabic coffee pot, pouring coffee;
- Arabic calligraphy;
- a lantern;
- an arch with a dome, repeating the shape of the building it stood above;
- a fan of ornament unfolding over the dome.
Our show worked as a visual prologue to the festival’s nighttime installations: a moment where technology meets art, and architecture and air begin to speak through light and movement.
