The Union procession was organised by the Ministry of Presidential Affairs at the Sheikh Zayed Heritage Festival 2015 at Al Wathba as part of the 44th National Day celebrations.
The procession, which attracted large crowds from tribes across the country, passed through the grand stand amidst rendition of national songs and folkloric performances. Marchers held the UAE flags in a show of loyalty to, support for, and pride in the wise leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The festival, held from November 19 to December 12 under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, in Al Wathba – Abu Dhabi, sheds light on the heritage of the UAE and showcases the richness and the diversity of Emirati traditions and culture through interactive educational methods.
In recognition of the historic role played by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan in founding the United Arab Emirates, the festival will present a comprehensive view of the nation’s heritage through the ‘Memories of a Nation’ wing.
