Countries around the world relish celebrating their founding
days and in the United Arab Emirates
(UAE) they take their National Day seriously.
 |
| His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Nayhan |
Celebrated on December 2, National Day commemorates the day in 1971 that His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan banded together the seven emirates of the Trucial States to form a
new country - United Arab Emirates. National
Day is an exuberant celebration of the greatness of this young country’s
heritage.
One thing Emiratis love is their cars. Just stand on any
street corner and watch the show. Glitzy, glamorous, bejeweled and audacious
are words that describe the cars you can see. For National Day, all restraints
are unleashed in the fervorous activity to decorate one’s car for the big celebration
and show one’s love for their country . . . and proudly parading them all over
town.
