The National Day spirit
As the UAE turns 44 we asked our readerphotographers to show in pictures how they connect with the country. From its modern landmarks to its desert dunes, inspiration can be found everywhere. Exploring both the UAE’s heritage and presentday charms, our reader-photographers paid tribute to the dynamic country on National Day. Here we present a selection of their pictures from around the emirates. Editor’s note: How did you celebrate National Day? Did you do anything special? Share your experiences as a UAE resident and send us your pictures and videos at readers@gulfnews.com.
