Eid Al Etihad 2025 is almost here, marking the UAE’s 54th National Day. It’s going to be a long weekend filled with celebrations, fireworks, and cultural performances. But before you dive into the fun, it’s important to follow the guidelines set by the UAE Ministry of Interior to ensure everyone stays safe.
If you’re planning to decorate your car or join in the road festivities, you can put up official Eid Al Etihad stickers and raise the UAE flag.
When it comes to car decorations, keep these restrictions in mind:
- Don’t cover your windows or conceal your license plates
- Avoid unauthorized vehicle modifications or excessive noise
- Wear only scarves related to Eid Al Etihad
- Display only the UAE flag, no other flags
- Spray painting your car is prohibited
There are a few things to avoid when celebrating Eid Al Etihad 2025:
- Participation in parades or forming random gatherings
- Obstructing traffic or blocking public roads
- Stunt driving
- Leaning or hanging out of windows or sunroofs
- Overloading a vehicle
- Playing loud music (unless it’s related to Eid Al Etihad)
National Day falls on December 2 and 3, which means most people get a two-day break to enjoy. With a new law introduced in 2025, non-Eid public holidays may be shifted to the start or end of the week. This includes such holidays as Islamic New Year, the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday (PBUH), and UAE National Day.
If you’re staying in the country for the long weekend, explore the best of the multiple celebrations, including fireworks and performances. It’s a time to join in the collective spirit of the nation, so be sure to enjoy the festivities while staying safe.
