On 2 December 2025, the United Arab Emirates marks its 54th National Day, known as Eid Al Etihad. This annual celebration commemorates the historic moment in 1971 when six emirates united under the Constitution of the United Arab Emirates, with Ras Al Khaimah joining soon thereafter.
The Theme for Eid Al Etihad 2025: “United”
The official theme for Eid Al Etihad 2025 is United, reflecting the spirit of togetherness that has defined the UAE since its inception. Alongside the theme, the official visual identity for 2025 draws inspiration from the UAE’s early days, featuring motifs such as palm trees, dhows, forts, and pearl oysters—symbols of heritage woven into modern celebrations.
Beyond design, the official Eid Al Etihad website offers practical celebration guides to bring the theme “United” to life. A Home Guide inspires families with creative, meaningful, and sustainable celebration activities, including tips on local games and crafts. A School Guide provides resources, mockups, and ideas for classroom activities to celebrate Eid Al Etihad. For workplaces, the Office Guide encourages government and private entities to participate in ways that reflect collaboration and collective spirit. To complement these experiences, a curated Eid Al Etihad playlist is available on various music streaming platforms, adding rhythm and emotion to the nationwide celebrations.
Our Eid Al Etihad Greeting Card: Honouring Heritage and Progress
This year, Várri Consultancy’s greeting card captures the essence of Eid Al Etihad 2025 with an image of footprints across golden desert sands. The design overlays the number 54 and collaboratively incorporates design elements from the Arabic script for Eid Al Etihad, framed by a sunburst motif. It symbolises a journey of resilience and progress—honouring the past while moving forward with confidence.
As you watch fireworks on the Corniche, explore heritage villages in Fujairah, or raise the flag at home, let this National Day be a time to reflect on our shared journey and the future we can build together in unity.
Happy Eid Al Etihad!
