Most residents will enjoy a four-day weekend for Eid Al Etihad this year, with December 2 and 3 declared paid holidays for both the public and private sectors. Additionally, all private schools, nurseries, and universities in Dubai will be closed during these dates, resuming regular classes on December 4.
Eid Al Etihad Celebrations Across the UAE
The UAE celebrates its National Day, now referred to as Eid Al Etihad, on December 2 to commemorate the formation of the Emirates’ unification in 1971. This year marks the 53rd anniversary of the historic event.
The official Eid Al Etihad ceremony will be held in Al Ain, known for its breathtaking natural landscapes. The grand event, attended by the nation’s Rulers and leaders, will be live-streamed, allowing Dubai residents to witness the celebrations from various public zones across the city.
Celebrate Responsibly
With a host of cultural events, fireworks, and public festivities planned across Dubai, residents are encouraged to take advantage of the free parking and enjoy the extended weekend while adhering to traffic and safety regulations.
