UAE National Holiday, a glimpse....

National Day (Arabic: اليوم الوطني لدولة الأمارات العربية المتحدة‎) is celebrated on 2 December each year in the United Arab Emirates for two days or more (mostly on the 2nd and 3rd). It marks the UAE's formal nationalization from the British Protectorate Treaties which ended on December,1,1971 and the eventual unification of the seven emirates in 1971 which combined to form the modern-day country. **borrowed from ms. wiki

car parade filled the streets from hamdan street to salam street going to the road of corniche all the way to the breakwater near marina mall.

 cars and music and people everywhere....

bright and colorful lights decorate the buildings of abu dhabi....from top to bottom, side to side all around :)

the locals love to sit on top of their cars during the parade with their stereos playing local music in full force

twinkle, twinkle, abu dhabi....the city sparkles!

amazing buildings like giant clusters of light statues

feels like christmas time to me
