The Emirates Group celebrated the UAE’s 46th National Day today and numerous departments came together for a packed programme of activities that were enjoyed by both Emiratis and their expat colleagues alike.

The celebrations were officially opened by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline & Group, who commemorated UAE National Day with a cake-cutting ceremony at the Group’s Headquarters, which was followed by local Emirati dance performances.

HH Sheikh Ahmed said: “UAE National Day is a time to reflect on the nation’s remarkable success and celebrate our rich cultural identity. The UAE’s rapid rise on the world stage has been underpinned by the spirit of unity, determination, and continual progress, driven by our nation’s leaders and their vision. Across the Emirates Group, this same spirit is proudly reflected as our Emirati and expat colleagues today come together to mark and celebrate the UAE’s 46th National Day.”
