Abu Dhabi marks its 54th National Day, also known as Eid Al Etihad, with an official ceremony on Tuesday, December 2.
National Day commemorates the founding of the UAE in 1971, when six emirates united under one flag. The seventh, Ras Al Khaimah, joined shortly after, in February 1972.
The theme of this year’s celebrations is 'United', with more than 200 nationalities in the UAE coming together in community events to showcase their shared spirit and patriotism.
