Saudi Arabia has announced a public holiday across the kingdom on September 23rd to mark its 95th National Day.
According to Arab media, Saudi Arabia will celebrate its 95th National Day with great national enthusiasm on September 23rd. On this occasion, a public holiday has been announced for citizens and expatriates throughout the kingdom.
This day commemorates the historic decree of the founder of the kingdom, King Abdulaziz, in 1932, under which a state named Saudi Arabia was established by uniting Nejd and Hejaz.
National Day was first celebrated in 1965 during the reign of King Faisal and was given the status of a permanent official holiday after a royal decree by King Abdullah in 2005. This year, National Day has been named “Our Pride is in Our Nature,” which highlights the cultural traditions and natural heritage of the Saudi people.
According to the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), this theme highlights the qualities of Saudis such as hospitality, courage, dignity, generosity, and high morale.
Fireworks, drone shows, aerial demonstrations by Saudi Hawks, cultural programs, traditional dances, and exhibitions will be held across the country on the occasion of National Day. Special events will be held in major cities, including Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, while important buildings will be illuminated with green lights.
It should be remembered that every year, Saudis and expatriates celebrate this day with devotion and enthusiasm by waving the green flag and dressing in the national colors.
