Day of Dubai
The UAE’s National Day, celebrated on December 2, is now referred to by its authentic Arabic name, Eid Al Etihad, which translates to “Celebration of the Union.” The term, originally used by the nation’s founders in 1971, has been revived to emphasize the UAE’s unity, shared identity, and collective progress under one flag. Officials explain that the change isn’t just linguistic—it reflects the spirit of togetherness, pride, and belonging that defines Emirati culture. More than a public holiday, Eid Al Etihad is a reminder of how unity continues to drive the nation’s future. What do you think of this move to reconnect the celebration with its original Arabic roots?
