Singapore Embassy in Abu Dhabi and Consulate-General in Dubai

The Singapore Embassy in Abu Dhabi was thrilled to host an unexpected visit by several young falcons today! The falcon is the national bird of the UAE and a symbol of the country's heritage.✨

These young falcons stopped by the Embassy of the 🦁 city for a curious look around - a lovely reminder of the UAE’s deep connection to falconry.

Today’s visitors may have arrived without appointments, but we were happy to make an exception! 🇸🇬🇦🇪

Happy Vesak Day. 🪷

The Embassy of the Republic of Singapore in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate-General of the Republic of Singapore in Dubai extend warm wishes to all celebrating Vesak Day.

May this day of reflection and compassion bring peace, wisdom, and happiness to you and your loved ones.
