Dibba Al Hisn Sports and Cultural Club witnessed a special celebration on the occasion of the 53rd National Day of the United Arab Emirates, in the presence of a number of dignitaries and directors of government institutions in the city, in addition to its dignitaries, club presidents and invitees.
The ceremony, which was held at the club’s headquarters, attracted a large audience of employees, players, coaches and administrators, and began with a national operetta entitled “Ahd Al Dar”, which was presented in a creative artistic style that embodied the history of the Emirates since its founding by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God bless his soul.
The operetta included scenes that shed light on the life of hunting and diving and the hardships of the ancestors’ journeys, in addition to the life of the Bedouins in the desert, which was characterized by generosity and hospitality.
The show covered the dazzling journey of Sheikh Zayed, may God have mercy on him, and how he was able to transform the desert into vibrant green oases, with rare footage of him delivering the Union Declaration in 1971.
The operetta also reviewed the country’s achievements in the path of construction and development, starting with the discovery of oil and its investment in development, all the way to the launch of the UAE satellite, reflecting the country’s ability to keep pace with the world’s major countries in various fields, and demonstrated the UAE’s unique ability to embrace different cultures and nationalities on its land, affirming its position as a symbol of tolerance and coexistence.
