The decision to celebrate Saudi Founding Day on February 22 dates back three centuries, during the leadership of Imam Muhammad bin Saud, when he founded the first Saudi state in 1727 and established a political entity that achieved unity, stability, and prosperity. On that day, Diriyah became the capital of the first Saudi State.
Since Founding Day falls on Saturday February 22, for most of us it will be a long weekend meaning we’ll be enjoying a day off on Sunday February 23. After which, the next public holiday for us will be Eid Al-Fitr, which falls on either Saturday March 29 or Sunday March 30. Read the full list of public holidays in Saudi Arabia here.
