Dubai celebrates Kuwait’s National Day with great zest and vigour every year on 25 February. An exciting line-up of activities marks the occasion, inviting all to celebrate the country over cultural showcases, culinary experiences, promotions and an abundance of family fun.
The strategic partnership between the two countries continues to strengthen under the leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah, the Amir of Kuwait.
President Sheikh Mohamed has sent a message of congratulations to Kuwait's leaders and people on the country's 62nd national day.
The UAE president also shared a photo of Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Al Saba, Emir of Kuwait between 1977 and 2006, with the UAE Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and another of Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, Emir of Kuwait between 2006 and 2020, with the late UAE President Sheikh Khalifa.
Kuwait celebrates its National Day on February 25, the day when Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Al Sabah ascended to the throne in 1950.
The country's first national day was held on June 19, marking the date it gained independence in 1961. However, it was deemed too hot and since 1963 the day of celebration has been moved to February to recognise the date Sheikh Abdullah came to power.
To mark the day, people decorate their houses with colourful lights, flags, and candles are lit at dinner time.
