Abu Dhabi – In Memory of Gamal Abdel Nasser Stamp Set (1971)

Issued by Abu Dhabi in 1971, this commemorative stamp set honors Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918–1970), the late President of Egypt and one of the most influential Arab leaders of the twentieth century. The simple portrait design reflects the widespread respect for Nasser throughout the Arab world following his death. Released during the final year before the formation of the United Arab Emirates, the issue is an important example of Abu Dhabi’s pre-UAE commemorative stamps.
