National Day is celebrated from 2 December each year in United Arab Emirates for two days or more (usually the 2nd and 3rd). It marks the UAE’s formal nationalisation from the British Protectorate Treaties which ended on December 1 1971 and the eventual federal unification of the seven emirates in 1971 which combined to form the modern-day country headed by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan the federation’s first president.
