SHARJAH, UAE –The American University of Sharjah organized an on-campus National Day celebration on Nov. 24. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the shows at the event included an Emirati singer who sang popular songs. A female in an Emirati thoub joined him on stage in a traditional dance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The food stalls had many traditional popular UAE food and desserts like Luqaimat, Khubz Regag (regag bread), and Chabab bread (Emirati pancake). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the food stalls handed out the food for free. The food stalls were very crowded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several people at the event were dancing with the performers on stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was nice attending an on-campus event for the first time after being deprived of such exciting and joyful celebrations,\u201d said Yasmine Almani, a second-year student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The people attending the event were cautious about the COVID-19 situation and wore their masks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Security guards were at every corner to maintain the safety of the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the AUS students wore UAE traditional clothes, such as the abaya for women and the kandura for the men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe long queue for the free traditional food was worth it,\u201d said Amani Abdulrazak, a second-year student.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
