It’s that time of the year again! UAE Flag Day, which originated in 2013 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and the Ruler of Dubai, is celebrated on the third of November.

Like every year, in an announcement sent out by authorities, government and local organizations and companies will raise the flag simultaneously in front of their headquarters in a specific timing, and that was 11 am today.

You too can celebrate the country’s Flag Day in the cutest and most creative ways around the Emirates.

So, here’s a list of the cutest Flag Day celebrations that you can easily be part of.

Nothing screams Eid better than chocolates, and the luxurious Emirati home-grown date shop, The Date Room, prepared a fancy mix of chocolate special for the Flag Day, which you can take as a gift. Cute little customized boxes with the UAE’s flag are also available.

Little cupcakes can be the cutest way to celebrate the UAE Flag Day with your family, and we are loving Ceasars UAE’s decorated cupcakes with the Emirati flag.

Sikka Café is, of course, celebrating the Flag Day this year. How? You’ll be offered a free dessert with any dine-in main course today. Do not lose the chance to try their savory desserts, especially the pistachio sahlab, a traditional Emirati milk pudding, which will be decorated in the UAE flag colors.

If you’re looking for a more special way to celebrate this year, you can reach out to Rania Zaabeel, Zaabeel Studio’s Executive manager. The artist painted the UAE’s flag using acrylic colors, through dots in equal lines, to give a three-dimensional look.

Being a UAE and sushi lover, I have definitely found my celebration place right now. Sumo sushi & Bento is offering Sushi rolled in colors of the UAE Flag to satisfy your cravings in a patriotic way at 39dhs ONLY.

If you’re a cookies lover, you are about to enjoy some fresh-made cookies featuring the UAE’s flag colors and more in Fresh Bakes Café.

On this National occasion, you might want to celebrate sacrifice, efforts and love, symbolic of the UAE rulers. Fab Concept, the Flower artistry boutique is ready to provide you with the most beautiful bouquet for the occasion.
