As part of the Year of the 50th celebrations, the UAE's Golden Jubilee Celebrations Committee invites the public for nationwide celebrations to mark a 50-day countdown to the 50th UAE National Day on 2nd December, 2021.

For the first time in the history of the UAE, celebrations of the National Day will begin 50 days before 2nd December to mark the country’s Golden Jubilee milestone. The initiative, titled 50 days to 50, invites all those who call the UAE home to participate in the celebrations by following a series of activations, rituals, and challenges on the official UAE National Day social media platforms @OfficialUAEND .

خمسين يوماً وتكمل الإمارات خمسين عاماً كدولة واحدة … إماراتها متحدة .. قلوبها متوحدة .. شعبها يرفع علم واحد ويحتكم لدستور واحد ويلتف حول رئيس واحد .. خمسين عاماً لتنطلق احتفالاتنا في الثاني من ديسمبر ٢٠٢١ بإذن الله ..
