The UAE is set for grand celebrations to mark the 50th National Day with a dazzling display of fireworks, performances, and entertainment shows across the country.

The National Day is being celebrated this year on a massive scale.

Along with the public sector, several private sector companies join the celebrations and announce offers like never before.

Carrefour, which is owned and operated by Majid Al Futtaim in the UAE, is treating the UAE community to huge savings, and giveaways in celebration of the 50 years of the UAE’s formation.

Carrefour is also giving away Dh2.5 million in the run-up to National Day to over 5,000 Carrefour customers.
