Updated: Nov 29, 2023

In the annual celebration of the 52nd United Arab Emirates National Day, the spotlight gracefully falls on the 2nd of December. Dubbed the Spirit of the Union, this momentous date symbolises the fusion of all seven Emirates into one harmonious nation. The festivities unfold in a grand display, featuring breathtaking firework extravaganzas, beautiful processions, and lavish ceremonies. UAE National Day stands out as an occasion where both locals and expatriates come together, basking in the joy of unity.



UAE National Day


Harmony Forged

On the 2nd of December 1971, the leaders of AbuZaby (Abu Dhabi), Ajman, Dubayy (Dubai), Al Fujayrah, Ra’sal Khaymah, Ash Shariqah (Sharjah), and Umm al Qaywayn came together to form one country. Guided by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the first president of the nation, the United Arab Emirates was born. In February 1972, Ras Al Khaimah decided to join, becoming the seventh Emirate. Since then, every year, UAE National Day is celebrated with joyful festivities across the Gulf nation.


The Significance

The UAE National Day signifies not only freedom but also the establishment of the UAE as a sovereign and influential nation. Since its formation, post-separation, the nation has thrived, particularly in the realm of gas and oil industries, earning it a formidable reputation in the Middle East. The remarkable development and prosperity have not only attracted higher tourism but also created abundant corporate opportunities for expatriates. In honouring the hard-fought journey to independence, the Independence Day festivities in Dubai echo with a profound sense of patriotism.


Presently, the United Arab Emirates proudly stands as a prominent Arab nation in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula. Guided by hereditary emirs, the collaborative efforts of the seven emirates shape the Federal Supreme Council, a cornerstone in the unified governance of the country.



The Celebrations

On the UAE National Day, people engage in various celebratory activities to honor the spirit of the nation. Citizens and residents alike participate in vibrant parades, showcasing the country's rich culture and history. Festive events, including traditional dances and music performances, add to the joyous atmosphere. Many also decorate their homes and streets with the national flag, creating a colourful display of patriotism.

The joyous atmosphere of National Day permeates every corner of the UAE. Malls and public spaces host special events, offering entertainment for residents and visitors alike. Concerts, art exhibitions, and traditional performances contribute to the festive ambiance, making it a time when the entire nation comes alive with the spirit of celebration.


Fireworks illuminate the night sky, symbolising the unity and pride of the people. Families gather around delicious meals and spend time together, enjoying the happiness of this special day. It's a moment to think about good things, be thankful, and celebrate all the great things the United Arab Emirates has achieved and how far it has come.



Global Recognition

The UAE's National Day resonates far beyond its borders. Globally, the UAE is celebrated for its successes in different areas. Whether it's the thriving economy, progress in renewable energy, or hosting major events like Expo 2020, the UAE has become a leader on the world stage.
