Al Ain - WAM
The 10th Al Ain Aerobatic Show, one of the emirate’s longest running and established family events, will return to the skies over Abu Dhabi’s ‘Oasis City’ this year from November 30 to December 2. “The show has been timed to run up to and across National Day celebrations to encourage an increased length-of-stay by the many guests who flock to Al Ain — our heritage heartland — to mark the anniversary of our federation’s founding in the UAE’s most cultural setting,” said Faisal Al Sheikh, Director of Events Bureau, Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi), which organises the show in partnership with the UAE Air Force and Air Defence. “There are now more reasons for visitors to begin their Al Ain break the weekend prior to National Day and join in all the show activities and then the December 2nd celebrations — it all makes for a compelling reason to stay longer.” Being aligned to this year’s 42nd UAE National Day celebrations, the show, which will be held at Al Ain International Airport, will pay tribute to the country’s rich culture and heritage with a series of UAE-themed aerial displays and on-ground attractions, performances and activities.
