Martyr’s Day is the occasion on which the United Arab Emirates celebrates on November 30 of each year its martyrs who were martyred while performing their national tasks inside or outside the country. The UAE martyrs are not limited to those who were martyred within the armed forces only, but also include all the people who sacrificed their lives in all fields, whether Military (the Armed Forces or the Ministry of Interior), diplomatic or national service conscripts. Martyr’s Day was announced in 2015 in a decree issued by the President of the State, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan . This day is an official holiday for all government and private departments, and the state celebrates this day by holding various ceremonies and events in which the sacrifice of the UAE martyrs is remembered
