The United Arab Emirates, a country whose constitution was signed by one of the most visionary men of the twenty-first century, the late Sheikh Zayed, celebrated 41 years as a nation on December 2nd. While the country’s birthday was feted with various activities, Dubai’s S*uce Boutique created this moving video showcasing trailblazing creatives and entrepreneurs reflecting on the opportunities they have pursued in the Emirate. From Elham Al Qasimi, the first Arab woman to trek to the North Pole, to Filmmaker Abdullah Al Kaabi, to Sunny Rahbar, Co-Founder of The Third Line, catch snippets from some of the UAE’s most inspiring people as they remind us that a healthy dose of patriotism is always in fashion. After all, how many people around the world can say that they have helped to “build a city”?
