Expected to gather more than 500 people, the walk aims to showcase their love, respect and gratitude for the country that has provided equal growth opportunities to people of more than 200 nationalities from across the globe.
The walk will also support the education of orphans through a fund-raising event for Manar Al Iman charity private school.

Around 100 students from the school will take part in the walk.

Donations will be collected through charity boxes placed along the track and they will be given to the school. The Dh50 registration fees will also be given to the cause.
