What is Saudi National Day?
Saudi Arabia celebrates its National Day annually on September 23 to commemorate the unification of the nations of Najd and Hijaz into the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This historic merger took place in 1932 under the leadership of King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud, marking a pivotal chapter in the nation’s history.
The occasion is typically marked with fireworks, parades packed with floats showcasing the highlights of each region of Arabia, music and traditional outfits, as well as loads of offers and promotions.
