The United Arab Emirates commemorates its 50th National Day on 2nd December, which marks the Golden jubilee of this great nation, a day which embodies the Spirit of the Union and celebrates 50 years of great achievements since the federation was established in 1971. The 2nd of December is a source of pride and glory, and is a day to highlight the exemplary nature and the leading personality of the UAE founding father, His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
