The day commemorates UAE’s formal nationalization and the start of the federal unification of the emirates in 1971, when the six small Gulf kingdoms of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Sharjah, and Umm Al-Quwain joined together to form one federation.

A seventh emirate, Ras Al Khaimah, was integrated into the union early the following year, completing the formation of the nation known today.

This occasion marks a sincere reflection of the federation’s journey rich in monumental events and achievements, building on the foundation that was first laid down by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and his brothers, the fellow founding fathers.

Al Jassmi will also mark the national day with a performance at Al Majaz Amphitheatre, in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, on Friday, December 3.
