Where to watch air shows as part of the Saudi National Day celebrations
This year’s Saudi National Day promises to be a big one…
What is Saudi National Day without catching Saudi Arabia’s defence forces conducting unique air shows streaking across the skies?
To commemorate the 94th National Day, various Royal Saudi Air Force planes, including the Typhoon, F-15SA, Tornado, and F-15C aircraft, are expected to perform in the shows.
The air shows will be held in several cities across the Kingdom, such as Riyadh, Jeddah, Damman, Al-Jawf, Al-Ahsa, Taif, Al-Baha, Tabuk, Abha, Khamis Mushait, and Al-Khobar.
