With the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia set to dive into festivities for the upcoming National Day, an exciting four-day holiday has been set in stone to mark the holiday.

Falling on September 23, 2024, the National Day holiday has been graciously extended, offering the public a long break from Friday through Monday, creating a four-day weekend.

This means a full four-day holiday kept to celebrate national pride while commemorating the unification of the Kingdom under the vision of King Abdulaziz Al Saud in 1932.

Both the government and private sectors will enjoy this respite, in line with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development’s directive for a paid holiday in honour of this historic day.

The Theme Of Saudi National Day 2024

While the extended holiday is certainly something to celebrate, it’s essential to be in the know about the official theme that will colour the festivities this year.

Originally posted on X, Turki Al al-Sheikh, the Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), has revealed that Saudi National Day will carry forward last year’s powerful theme: “We Dream, We Achieve.”

This slogan perfectly captures the Kingdom’s ongoing transformation—one that mirrors the ambitious strides of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

It embodies a collective dream, pushing forward a wave of progress in fields ranging from technology and innovation to fashion and entertainment, all while staying grounded in the nation’s deep-rooted cultural identity.

What is the saudi national day?

Since its unification in 1932, when the Kingdoms of Nejd and Hejaz merged to form what we now know as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the nation has made remarkable strides towards modernity.

Under the visionary leadership of His Majesty King Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud, Saudi Arabia has continually driven itself towards excellence, inspiring generations with its boundless ambition.

The National Day serves as a moment of deep pride, with the country set to experience a myriad of festivities, from cultural events to spectacular fireworks and patriotic displays, all reflecting the Kingdom’s rich heritage, remarkable achievements, and future aspirations.
