“Wahat Al Karama” literally means “the oasis of dignity” – a fitting title for the site chosen to immortalise the names of the men who gave their lives for the UAE, as directed by H.H. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE.
“Wahat Al Karama” is a place of reflection, strength, pride, power and unity where the people of the UAE come together to express their love for their country, its leadership, and its servicemen and women. It honours and shows gratitude to those who sacrificed their lives in support of not just their country’s sovereignty and values, but also the safety and security of the entire region.
