A spectacular celebratory agenda featuring musical entertainment and scintillating fireworks await visitors to mark the 47th UAE National Day, on 1 and 2 December 2018, at La Mer, the world class beachfront destination by Meraas.

Over the course of the two days, firework displays will light up the skies around the beach destination at 9pm, while famous singers Fouad Abdul Wahed and Mohammed Al Shehhi will host concerts that are open to the public free of charge.

On 1 December, Fouad Abdul Wahed, the Yemen born Khaleeji singing sensation who shot to fame with the Dubai TV show ‘Najm Al Khaleej’ – Star of the GCC, will mesmerize audiences with a live performance of his popular numbers including “Ya Hob” and “Qalbi ElSagheer”.

Emirati star Mohammed Al Shehhi will take over the stage the following day, on 2 December. Boasting over 1.2 million subscribers on YouTube, the Ras Al Khaimah native is known for his poetic lyrics and music that creates a soulful fusion of western beats and classical Arabic compositions.

To commemorate the founding of the UAE federation, a seven-metre-long art work depicting La Mer’s minimalist and contemporary design along with the UAE flag, will be installed on the destination’s pristine beachfront in partnership with Zabeel Studio. The art installation will be created by Emirati women.

Guests will also enjoy a variety of exciting discounts and special offers across cafes, restaurants, and retailers available through the SunSational app that is free to download on both Android and iOS phones.
