The 2nd of December 2009 is the UAE' national day; the day in which the 7 Emirates, Abu-Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras-AlKhaima and Um Al Quwain united together to form the present United Arab Emirates. The national day plays an important role in the UAE national life; it's filled with celebration and activities that gives UAE nationals a chance to show their loyalty to their country and for Expat Residents to participate as a community in these glorious festivities. In the UAE's capital Abu-Dhabi organizations are on the way to gather a massive congregation of UAE nationals together to sing the UAE National anthem.
