Saudi Arabia Has Announced A New Holiday And It’s Less Than 1 Month Away
So far, Saudi Arabia only had three official holidays: National Day and the two Eids. The kingdom now got a fourth official holiday and it’s less than a month away. Get those holiday plans ready already.
King Salman has signed a royal edict yesterday designating February 22 as the country’s Founding Day.
The new annual national holiday, which will be observed for the first time next month, was developed to commemorate Imam Mohammed ibn Saud’s founding of the First Saudi State in 1727.
