On February 18, 1968,
in two tents in the desert between Dubai and Abu Dhabi,
Sheikh Zayed and Sheikh Rashid came together
with one heart and high aspirations.
They agreed to establish a nation
and invited the other emirates to join.
From there, the journey began,
and the story of the Union was born.
On December 2, 1971,
the rulers of the seven emirates gathered
in a moment filled with hope
to build a shared future.
The Union was formed,
and the story of the greatest nation began,
a journey led by the greatest men.
