Fujairah National Day events is a phrase the search engine finishes for you, which says something about local interest. The emirate has a heritage that makes a National Day event more than decoration.

Use the real heritage

Fujairah has one of the oldest forts in the country and a small mud-brick mosque, Al Bidyah, often described as the oldest in the UAE, set against a mountain watchtower. A programme that tells their story gives context that a banner cannot.

For staff

A daytime programme in a function room with majlis seating, performers, Emirati food stations and a talk on the day's meaning. Include families if the company does.

For clients

An evening reception with a heritage theme: Arabic coffee, a short Ayyala or Razfa performance, dinner and subtle national-colour styling.

For hotels

A heritage night for guests, with performers, a food station and a short explanation of each tradition. Many hotels lack the performers and kit, and a supplier can provide them.

What to avoid

  • Treating tradition as costume.
  • Loud, unrelated entertainment.
  • Late booking.
