Saudi Arabia commemorates Founding Day on February 22, honouring the 1727 establishment of the first Saudi state by Muhammad bin Saud. This paid public holiday celebrates deep historical roots, cultural heritage and national pride, distinct from National Day’s focus on modern unification. Celebrations foster unity and connect citizens to their enduring legacy.
