Šventės šalyje Saudo Arabija

Saudi Arabia observes a small but profoundly significant set of national holidays reflecting its identity as the birthplace of Islam and a modern nation state. National Day on September 23rd celebrates the 1932 unification of the kingdom by King Abdulaziz. Founding Day, established in 2022, reaches further back to 1727 to honour the establishment of the first Saudi state. These two holidays frame the nation's narrative from its earliest roots to its modern consolidation.
