اليوم الوطني

National Day
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia






HAPPY NATIONAL DAY

 23rd of September marks an important date for anyone who is Saudi or lives in Saudi Arabia. For it's the national day, a day of  recognition and celebration of this amazing country, where King Abdulaziz Al-Saud had united and changed the history in 1932. 

For most of you out there, you would notice that this day wasnt celebrated in the early years, or even considered a public holiday (non working) but after King Abduallah had taken the throne, he declared that  this day would be a day of celebration.

Thats why on this day Saudis of all ages take the streets to celebrate and rejoice, Green and White are the 2 colors that you see, flags, national songs played loudly from cars, boys and sometimes girls dancing in the streets.

Shops, offices, even mini markets (baqalas) share the spirit of this day and display flags and stickers on their windows. Its a wonderful sight to see the love Saudis have for their country.

HAPPY SAUDI NATIONAL DAY !!!!
