National Day


Today is National Day (similar to our 4th of July). It marks the founding of the United Arab Emirates on December 2, 1971. There were lots of celebrations and decorations around Dubai and the other Emirates marking the country's 40th birthday. It was fun to see the locals (and expats)so proud of their country. Homes and hotels were heavily decorated with flags and/lights. There was lots of red, black, green and white on display. And only in Dubai style would people show their National Day spirit by decorating their luxury cars with everything from spray paint to Swarovski crystals.
