ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 13th Oct, 2021) As part of the Year of the 50th celebrations, the UAE's Golden Jubilee Celebrations Committee invites the public for nationwide celebrations to mark a 50-day countdown to the 50th UAE National Day on 2nd December, 2021.
For the first time in the history of the UAE, celebrations of the National Day will begin 50 days before 2nd December to mark the country’s Golden Jubilee milestone. The initiative, titled 50 days to 50, invites all those who call the UAE home to participate in the celebrations by following a series of activations, rituals, and challenges on the official UAE National Day social media platforms @OfficialUAEND.
Commenting on the 50 Days to 50 initiative, Shaikha Al Ketbi, Head of Creative Strategy of the Year of the 50th, said, "We cannot but acknowledge and admire the UAE's achievements for the past 50 years, culminating towards an exceptional year."
"With over 200 nationalities living in the UAE, we invite everyone who calls the UAE home to celebrate by learning more about the traditions and rituals that make our great society, and participate in our daily activities in the lead up to the official National Day Ceremony," she added.
