November marks the beginning of a series of exciting events and projects planned across the UAE to celebrate the 40th National Day. In line with the comprehensive strategy approved by Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum this year’s program will be a celebratory period of firsts as the nation comes together to unify efforts and co-ordinate an exceptional national program of celebrations.

Working alongside representatives from each Emirate, government authorities, community groups, private sector and the public the Committee oversees and coordinates the celebrations to ensure effective synchronization of activities across all partners.

People of the UAE are encouraged to salute the nation’s rich history, culture and achievements, by partaking in a series of events and projects planned across the Emirates to mark the culmination of 40 years as a modern and progressive nation.

We hope that the spectacular events we have planned for the next 30 days will inspire the people of this diverse nation to come together and celebrate as one with pride, energy and inclusiveness. I encourage everyone to participate in the celebrations and embrace the Spirit of the Union as we look forward to building our Nation’s future together. Together we have the unique opportunity to create long lasting and worthwhile memories, and to unite in celebration across this great nation.”

To mark this special occasion, the UAE capital’s iconic skyline and landmarks such as Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque & Al Jahili Fort in Al Ain will be brought to life through a monumental montage of light, colour, 3D projections and innovative technology. To further generate pride in the UAE, this synchronised visual backdrop will be supported with colourful ceremonial branding and decorations erected across the City and Emirate to extend celebrations to all corners.
