Titled "Badou Baniina Ummah", which translates to "Bedouins Built a Nation," the song captures the essence of Emirati pride and identity. It will be a key feature of the live broadcast of the official National Day show on December 2.
The song, a poetic tribute to the UAE’s legacy, honors the nation’s journey from its Bedouin roots to a modern beacon of progress.
