December in the UAE has always been more than just a month on the calendar. It is a rhythm, a season defined by the nation’s celebrations of unity, cultural festivities, and a collective warmth that spills across communities like golden sunlight across desert dunes. This year, however, that rhythm carries an even deeper resonance. The extended five-night weekend started with Eid Al Etihad which unfolded from November 28 to December 2, felt almost like an unspoken national tribute to Persons with Disabilities, aligning seamlessly with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3. Now, as the nation continues to celebrate its spirit of inclusivity and determination, another monumental event awaits in the second week of Decemberone that promises to elevate that very spirit to unprecedented heights.

The Dubai 2025 Asian Youth Para Games stands as a powerful testament to the resilience and talent of young para-athletes across Asia. From December 10 to 13, over 1500 athletes from 35 nations will converge in Dubai to compete across 11 sports at 8 world-class venues, supported by 700 dedicated volunteers who embody the spirit of inclusive sport.
