Dubai Duty Free celebrated the UAE’s 48th National Day with all departments coming together for a programme of activities that were enjoyed by both Emiratis and their expat colleagues at the company’s Head Office in Umm Ramool.
The celebrations were officially opened by the Executive Vice Chairman & CEO, Colm McLoughlin, and were commemorated with the UAE National Anthem.
As part of the celebrations, the Dubai Duty Free executives and employees enjoyed an outdoor Emirati exhibition on the grounds of the Dubai Duty Free Head Office. The exhibition showcased the UAE’s rich traditions and history and included attractions such as calligraphy, henna decoration, doll-making, pottery-painting and live cooking of traditional Emirati cuisine, all of which the employees actively participated before a cake-cutting ceremony.
Speaking on the occasion, McLoughlin said: 'This special day in the UAE reflects its unity, strength and the nation’s rich culture. Our annual participation in the national day highlights our commitment to continuously supporting the UAE’s vision and plans, as well as to promote the spirit of camaraderie between our Emirati and expat employee.'
