KSA Creatives Celebrate Saudi Founding Day
From Eleen Suliman to Dalia Mubarak, several personalities took to Instagram to share how they’re celebrating the second Saudi Founding Day
Last year King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud officially declared the 22nd of February as Saudi Founding Day. 2023 marks the second edition of the national holiday and comes with a four-day long weekend for citizens. Saudis use this time to learn more about their heritage and roots and to celebrate the Kingdom.
The public holiday – which means a day off from work for all within the Kingdom – will celebrate the rich heritage and culture of the Kingdom, an opportunity for KSA nationals and residents to enjoy a day filled with festivities.
