National Day, Hanukkah, Christmas or New Years, what has December not got? Inevitability, this is everyone’s favorite month of the year.
But this year’s December is special – it’s UAE’s 50th birthday! On this special occasion, Expo is not only offering all residents of UAE to visit the Expo for free on the day, but it is also giving our passes for one month at the pocket-friendly rate of AED 95.
