Dubai’s Union House, the site where the country’s unification was declared in
1971, has been added to the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific
Organization’s register of Arab architectural and urban heritage.

The designation places the Union House among 19 recognized Arab heritage
sites, highlighting Dubai’s stature as a city that bridges past and present while
projecting a vision for the future.

The building, long regarded as a symbol of Emirati identity, stands out as a living
witness to the signing of the union agreement that established the UAE more than
five decades ago.

The listing follows sustained efforts by the Ministry of Culture and the UAE
National Commission for Education, Culture and Science to preserve national
heritage and ensure its transmission to future generations.
