"Thank you for your determination. Thank you for your efforts. Thank you for all that you do for this nation," Sheikh Mohamed wrote in the note.
The name emphasises the theme of 'union' (Etihad) and celebrates the unification of the Emirates on December 2, 1971. The theme is central to the country's “identity, symbolising heritage, unity, strength, and national pride”.
The official ceremony will take place “amid the breathtaking natural landscapes of Al Ain, a city deeply cherished by the people of the UAE”, the committee said. People across the UAE can watch the celebrations of the national day holiday 2024 live on December 2 on local TV channels, cinemas and selected public areas.
