To celebrate the 48th UAE National Day, from December 1-3, The Dubai Mall will host a range of activities under the theme ‘Reflecting on the Past and Looking towards the Future’, to delight residents and visitors alike.

Guests can explore elements of the UAE’s past through an exceptional photographic installation, the Watani Exhibition hosted at The Dubai Mall. The installation has works from a photo-walk held earlier this year by Watani Al Emarat Foundation for social media photographers to take creative pictures of the UAE’s historic museums. The inspirational exhibition takes visitors on a unique journey that reflects the nation’s rich legacy through a selection of pictures short-listed from the photo-walk.

Customers can also immerse themselves in the UAE’s past traditions and witness traditional Emirati dance performances accompanied by an Al Ardah Band to be held across the mall in partnership with Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM).

On the theme of embracing the future, for the first time in Dubai, visitors can enjoy a hi-tech adaptation of the traditional art of flag waving with rhythmic Robotic Flags. Two giant 3-metre high robots will perform a choreographed flag dance in sync with the UAE National Anthem. The three-day installation will be hosted on the Waterfront Promenade with shows every few minutes and will be accompanied by a ‘48th National Day’ backdrop feature offering the perfect Instagrammable moment.

Visitors can also join in the UAE National Day festivities with complimentary UAE Flags, scarves and pins being distributed at Guest Services Desks, while stocks last. And with National Day decorations throughout the mall visitors can soak up the best of UAE National pride and celebrate together.
