Daughters Day in UAE 2023

When is Daughter’s Day Celebrated in UAE?

September 24

The fourth Sunday in the month of September is celebrated as Daughter’s Day in almost all the countries. The same goes for the UAE. Some exceptions are countries like the USA, which celebrate this day in the month of August itself. This year, Daughter’s Day will be celebrated on the 24^th of September, 2023.

History of Celebrating Daughter’s Day in the UAE

The UAE has been quite reserved in celebrating days like Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Daughter’s Day and the like. However, the culture has been changing in the last few years. Many ex-pats are settling in the UAE nowadays. Due to this, festivals celebrated in western countries like the USA and Canada, have slowly started making their presence in UAE as well.

It is only in the last 2 or 3 years that this day is being celebrated or even recognized by the people living in the United Arab Emirates. Though the celebrations are not on a huge scale like some of the other countries, parents wish their daughters on this day and do something to make their daughters feel special. Considering the reserved lifestyle in the UAE, this is still big progress!
