This weekend, the internet was jam-packed with posts in tribute to UAE’s 47th National Day.

But what struck me was not the number of local brands or even Emiratis who where sharing love for the country, it was people from all over the world who now call the UAE home that were paying tribute to the UAE in their droves.

The internet was awash with red, green, white and black and the posts of thanks and gratitude will seriously give you the feels.
