Uae National Day
Introduction
UAE is a truly blessed nation and an important a role model for the entire world. Founded on the principles of union and justice, this nation today stands tall and has found a firm footing on the world map. An arid piece of land transformed by the vision and aspirations of a man who wanted to bring about a change in the lives of those around him. A man of pride and wisdom – H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan not only dreamt but had the courage to pursue his dream and turn it into a beacon of reality. In the process, he never lost sight of his roots and cultural heritage.
On the occasion of the 41st National Day of UAE, we salute the Father of Nation, H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan and celebrate the 40th National Day keeping the ‘Spirit of Union’ as the theme. These celebrations pay homage to the great leadership who has played the most pivotal role in turning around this nation in such a short span of time.
December 2nd is National Day in the United Arab Emirates. The country has been in overdrive for weeks in anticipation, as this 41st anniversary is a big one for the UAE.
The United Arab Emirates is an amazingly young country. Many people walking around have memories of when Sheikh Zayed united the seven emirates and the various tribes into the one union. In fact, the slogan for this year’s National Day is “Spirit of the Union.”
Celebrations
Naturally, the celebrations across the UAE have been endless. For example, an airshow recently took place on the Abu Dhabi Corniche.
Meanwhile, manufacturers are cashing in, selling all sorts of National Day-themed products, including clothing, accessories, food and even limited-edition cars. One of my favorites is at Bloomingdale’s in Dubai Mall: the UAE-themed tote, which can be yours for 150 dirhams ($41).
Emiratis express their national pride in many ways. Most common is vehicle adornment. Lots of Emiratis display flags at their homes. I don’t mean standard-sized flags like Americans hang for
