Throughout the festivities, the hotel which was competing with 30 other properties for the UAE Award, had various activities that enthralled guests, giving interesting insights into this young nation – its history and achievements. There was a distinctive spot to felicitate the rulers complete with the UAE regalia.

The photographic art exhibitions on the local heritage, as well as UAE rulers were part of this museum which also hosted daily poetry readings. Staff dressed in traditional UAE attire received guests at the hotel. The employees also came together to create a human flag on November 24 in the car park area. Even the community clean up initiative on November 24, was linked to the UAE National Day celebrations with staff attired in UAE national colours. “Holiday Inn Dubai – Al Barsha feels honoured to be part of the landscape of UAE, a young, dynamic nation.
