Saudi Arabia has announced a public holiday on Tuesday, September 23, to celebrate the Kingdom’s 95th National Day. The holiday applies to employees in both government and private sectors, including schools, banks, and government offices.
The National Day commemorates the historic unification of Saudi Arabia in 1932 under King Abdulaziz Al Saud. Each year, the country observes the day with cultural events, concerts, fireworks, and patriotic displays across all major cities.
This year, the celebrations will be held under the theme “Our Pride Lies in Our Nature,” highlighting Saudi Arabia’s rich cultural heritage and natural environment. Authorities emphasize that the holiday is an opportunity for citizens and residents to participate in festivities and reflect on the Kingdom’s progress.
Saudi Arabia first celebrated National Day in 1965, during the reign of King Faisal. It became a permanent public holiday in 2005 following a royal decree by King Abdullah. Since then, the day has grown into one of the most significant annual events in the country.
Officials from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development confirmed that all employees, including those in the private sector, will enjoy the holiday. Businesses and institutions are expected to close for the day, allowing families and communities to engage in National Day events.
National Day also serves as a reminder of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives, aimed at economic diversification, cultural preservation, and social development. The government encourages participation in activities that promote national pride and celebrate the Kingdom’s achievements.
Citizens and residents can expect parades, cultural programs, and fireworks displays, along with other events that honor Saudi Arabia’s history and traditions. The day not only celebrates unity but also fosters a sense of belonging among the population.
Saudi Arabia’s 95th National Day promises to be a vibrant occasion, reflecting the Kingdom’s growth and its continued focus on heritage, culture, and national identity.
