UAE President Shares Family Portrait for Eid Al Etihad

As the United Arab Emirates celebrates its 54th National Day — Eid Al Etihad — the nation’s president, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, connected with citizens and residents in a deeply personal way: by sharing a family portrait on social media.

In his message, he extended warm congratulations to everyone across the Emirates and expressed heartfelt thanks for their contributions to the country’s ongoing development.

Accompanying the photo was a message of unity, gratitude, and hope for the future.

The president emphasized that the strength of the UAE lies in its families and communities — a principle underlining the nation’s ethos as it forges ahead under the founding values.

His gesture resonates especially as the UAE prepares for 2026, officially designated the “Year of the Family,” highlighting the importance of family cohesion, societal bonds, and shared national identity. 

As the UAE marks this special day of unity — with flags raised and festivities underway across the Emirates — the president’s family portrait serves as a symbol of togetherness, continuity, and national pride.
