id was thrilled to hear Expo 2020’s amazing musical tribute to the founding of the UAE. To mark the 47th National Day, they asked the UAE’s first female director, Nayla Al Khaja, to film musicians from around the world (including one musician from each Emirate) performing the UAE National anthem, Ishy Bilady, in the Dubai desert. Watch and enjoy!
Happy UAE Week!
