It’s the UAE’s birthday! Here’s how to celebrate
On December 2, the UAE commemorates the 47th anniversary of the day when, in 1971, a group of sheikhdoms joined together (Ras Al Khaimah joined the other six in February 1972). Now one of the world’s most advanced countries, the nation tops the region on the United Nations’ human development index, offering excellent quality of life to people from over 180 different countries. That’s reason enough to celebrate its culture of openness and tolerance as well as the vision of its founding fathers.
