The UAE's 50th National Day celebrations officially kicked off at Expo 2020 on Thursday morning with the national flag hoisting and the singing of the national anthem. There was also a traditional Al Azi performance.

Expo 2020 has announced an action-packed events calendar to mark the UAE Year of 50, complete with fireworks, special shows and parades.

Most people will have the day off, including children, as both the public and private sectors have been granted a four-day holiday. Entry to the world's fair will be free for everyone on UAE National Day, with normal admittance costing AED95 (US$25).
