Eid Al Etihad spotlights the UAE’s journey from ancient roots to modern unity

Eid Al Etihad offers a chance to explore the UAE’s rich history and cultural roots. Across the country, national museums bring to life the journey from ancient civilizations to the founding of the nation in 1971 and beyond. Each museum provides a unique window into the traditions, struggles, and achievements that shaped the emirates.

One of the oldest cultural sites is Al Ain Museum in Abu Dhabi. Established in 1969 by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, it was the UAE’s first museum. The exhibits delve into the region’s ancient past, offering insights into early settlements and ways of life.

From ancient artefacts to modern storytelling, these museums preserve the UAE’s diverse history. They offer residents and visitors a deeper understanding of the nation’s roots and the events that led to its formation. With new additions like the Zayed National Museum on the horizon, the country continues to invest in cultural spaces that educate and inspire.
