National Day parade in Ras Al Khaimah

UAE will be celebrating the 51st National Day on December 2, and the seven emirates are organising concerts, family-friendly activities and fireworks mark the occasion. The streets are dotted with flags and lights heralding the day. 

National Day parade was carried on Thursday, December 1, from 8am to 11am on the Qawasim Corniche, Ras al Khaimah. The parade covers the movement of military units and the closure of the road leading to the Qawasim Corniche. The motorists were urged to take alternative routes to avoid traffic congestion. The police also intensified patrols to facilitate smooth traffic flow to minimise jams on all internal and external roads of the emirate.

104 security and civil patrols will be present in all parts of the emirate to monitor the security situation closely during the celebrations. A top official at Ras Al Khaimah said that the patrols will be deployed in all vital areas, such as parks, markets, public places, celebration sites, and gathering points for the masses.

The UAE is celebrating the National Day from December 1 until December 4 and all public and private sector offices will remain closed to honour its people and celebrate the country's achievement.
