To honour the 41st annual National Day, as the operator of the main gateway to United Arab Emirates’ Capital, Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) is ensuring that passengers and visitors will be educated on the UAE’s rich history and reflect the company’s commitment to championing the UAE spirit.
To commemorate National Day, Abu Dhabi International Airport will be elegantly decorated in the national colours with the UAE flag displayed around its facilities and buildings as an important national symbol of unity. During National Day, the Capital’s airport will feature live entertainment for passengers of all ages, henna drawings, a falcon show, and craft displays alongside photo galleries of both past and present historical sites from around the UAE.
