UAE: Long weekend break, mega shows? What to expect from 54th National Day festivities
Each December, a festive spirit fills the air across the UAE as the country gears up to celebrate the historic unification of the seven Emirates on December 2. What has been known until 2024 as the UAE National Day has now taken on a new and meaningful name: Eid Al Etihad, which translates to 'Festival of the Union'. Eid Al Etihad emphasises the theme of 'union' (Etihad) and celebrates the unification on December 2, 1971. The excitement around UAE National Day, or more appropriately, Eid Al Etihad, goes far beyond just the long public holiday; it's a full-fledged celebration of country's "identity, symbolising heritage, unity, strength, and national pride". What's the backstory Back in 1971, the rulers of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Fujairah came together and formed the Union. Ras Al Khaimah joined in early 1972. And with that, the UAE was born, with vision of a powerhouse that is now emerging not just in the region but world wide. Public holidays For most residents, Eid Al Etihad means public holidays. Typically, both public and private sector employees get two days off, December 2 and 3, allowing time for staycations, road trips, or simply relaxing at home. This year, residents will receive midweek holidays on Tuesday, December 2, and Wednesday, December 3. But why stop there? You can turn this into a week-long break by applying for annual leave on Monday, December 1, and Thursday and Friday (Dec 4, 5). With the two weekends included, you will have a 9-day holiday to wrap up the year. Celebrations in the past two years Authorities have announced that the preparations are now underway for the 54th Eid Al Etihad, and everyone who calls the UAE home is encouraged to begin preparing for this year's celebrations. In 2022, the 51st National Day was all about storytelling. The official show was held in Abu Dhabi and later aired nationwide. It was an artistic spectacle with synchronised drones, dancers floating above water, and Emirati culture on full display. The celebration also paid tribute to Sheikh Khalifa and showcase UAE's next transport marvel — the Etihad Rail. In 2023, for the 52nd Eid Al Etihad, the theme was 'The Story of Our Union'. The celebration featured next-level tech with immersive visuals, augmented reality, AI-generated landscapes, telling the story of the UAE's growth. The fireworks were everywhere, from Dubai Festival City and Global Village to Sharjah Corniche and Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. Basically, if you looked up, there was probably something bursting and making you smile. In 2024, 10,000 artists, camels descended in Al Ain for Eid Al Etihad celebrations. The towering peaks of Jebel Hafeet in Al Ain served as the majestic backdrop for the UAE's 53rd National Day celebration. Real camels, palm tree props, and the enchanting Thuraya constellation set the scene for a spectacular show, interweaving nature's elements with the UAE's history and traditions. What to expect in 2025 Let's just say, the UAE doesn't do low-key celebrations. Although the full schedule isn't out yet, we can expect more of everything, more lights, more tech, more drones and maybe even a surprise concert or two. Possibly a new thematic show streamed nationwide, similar to the previous two years. Here's what we expect to see: Massive fireworks displays across all Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah). Drone shows have become a must-have in recent years telling UAE's story like never before. Free public events like parades (think Downtown Dubai, Global Village, cultural dances, and music festivals). Discounts and offers as malls, restaurants, and hotels love to join the celebrations. Traffic fine reduction. In 2024, motorists in four emirates of the UAE were offered a 50 per cent discount on traffic fines as part of a special UAE National Day initiative. Free public parking for motorists. However, with Parkin taking over the most parking areas in Dubai and Parkonic in Abu Dhabi, we will be watching out for the announcements this year. The last month of the year is a time when skyscrapers are lit up in red, green, white, and black, and families come together to reflect, rejoice, and look ahead. Eid Al Etihad celebration is a proud reminder of where the UAE came from and where it is heading — onwards and upwards.

Sobha unveils ‘The S' tower at Sobha Hartland II in Dubai
Sobha Realty, a leading Dubai-based developer, has unveiled its latest ultra-luxury development, The S at Sobha Hartland II. This launch also marks the debut of the developer's newly introduced Sobha Privy Collection, a curated portfolio of ultra-premium residences designed for global connoisseurs of bespoke living. Positioned as the tallest and final tower within the Sobha Hartland II masterplan, The S represents a striking architectural statement. With a unique equilateral triangular structure sculpted along the arc of a central canal, the tower offers residents 270-degree views of Downtown Dubai, the lagoon, and the surrounding skyline. Each floor comprises just two villa-scale residences, starting from the eighth floor, to maximize privacy and views. At 71 storeys, The S reinforces Sobha's design ethos: understated opulence. Each unit features a 4-metre floor-to-floor height, private terraces, spa-style bathrooms filled with natural light, and unobstructed glazing for panoramic vistas. Residents are greeted by a triple-height lobby and supported by dedicated concierge and valet services. The launch of the Privy Collection signals Sobha Realty's deeper foray into elite real estate, moving beyond traditional luxury into a refined realm of immersive design and personalisation. The collection also includes signature homes across Sobha's top developments, such as mansions and villas at Hartland II Estates, penthouses at SeaHaven, and residences at The S on Sheikh Zayed Road. Ravi Menon, chairman of Sobha Group, described the launch as 'a reflection of our pursuit of purity in design and perfection in detail.' Menon noted that as Dubai continues to attract high-net-worth individuals from across the globe, Sobha's Privy Collection aims to set a new benchmark in luxury real estate, offering not just homes, but curated experiences shaped by clarity, craft, and calm — a concept it calls The Art of Sublime. Industry leaders echoed this sentiment. Loai Al Fakir, CEO of Provident Real Estate, called The S 'a project that demanded attention and delivered refinement,' while Huimin Wang of Fastway Real Estate said the tower is 'a bold vision of luxury brought to life.' Industry analysts note that Sobha Realty is fast emerging as a top-tier luxury brand in Dubai's real estate landscape. With global investors increasingly seeking residences that blend design excellence, privacy, and long-term value, Sobha's commitment to end-to-end quality — from sourcing materials to in-house construction — positions it uniquely in a crowded premium market.
