55 years of the Emirates
2 December. Parade in Abu Dhabi, fireworks at Burj Khalifa, festive programmes at Qasr Al Watan and the Museum of the Future.
2 December 2026 marks the 55th anniversary of the union of the seven emirates into the UAE. It's a national holiday with fireworks above Burj Khalifa, a parade in Abu Dhabi, and special museum programmes. This collection brings together programmes that integrate with the day's events: an evening Burj Khalifa visit with the fountain show, a helicopter tour over Marina during the fireworks, a sightseeing Dubai tour with a culturally fluent guide, a trip to Abu Dhabi with Qasr Al Watan and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Worth booking 2–3 weeks ahead — demand peaks.
