The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia celebrates on Monday, February 22, the National Day on its 93rd anniversary, which coincides with the anniversary of the unification of the Kingdom by the founding king Abdulaziz Al Saud in 1932.
The Kingdom is witnessing wide official and popular celebrations on this precious occasion, as the General Entertainment Authority announced the organization of more than 4,000 entertainment events in various regions of the Kingdom, including 1,800 artistic performances and 3,500 light shows, in addition to fireworks displays.

He added in press statements: “We celebrate this year under the slogan (‘It is our home’), which expresses our close connection to this blessed land and our wise leadership.”
For his part, Minister of Media, Engineer Salman bin Yousef Al-Dosari, confirmed that “the National Day embodies unity under the banner of unification, and reflects what has been achieved of developmental and civilizational achievements during the era of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and his faithful Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud – may God protect them.”
The Kingdom has witnessed in recent years a comprehensive developmental renaissance within the framework of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to diversify sources of income and enhance the Kingdom’s regional and international standing.
As part of the celebrations, many government and private entities announced national initiatives, including the launch of the Royal Commission for the City of Riyadh for the “Green Riyadh” project, which aims to plant 7.5 million trees in the capital by 2030.
The Holy Capital Municipality also launched the “Makkah Beautification” initiative, which aims to improve the urban landscape in Makkah Al-Mukarramah and the Holy Sites, and enhance the quality of life for visitors to the Two Holy Mosques.
This year’s National Day celebration comes amid regional and international challenges, which confirms the importance of national unity and rallying around wise leadership to move forward in the path of development and progress.
The streets and squares of the Kingdom have been decorated with Saudi flags and green lights, while many government and private buildings have launched celebratory light shows.
Military and security sectors are participating in the celebrations with air and naval displays, as the Royal Saudi Air Force is carrying out air shows in the skies of the capital Riyadh and several major cities.

  • “Umm Turki” Launches Awareness Campaign on the Importance of Wearing Masks in Tuwaiq Region

    Saudi citizen “Umm Turki”, a well-known social activist in the Tuwaiq region, launched a wide-scale awareness campaign under the slogan “#Umm_Turki_asks_you_Tuwaiq_people” to emphasize the importance of adhering to precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the emerging coronavirus. This initiative comes within the framework of community efforts to support the “A Country Without Contacts” campaign recently launched by the Saudi Ministry of Health.

    Umm Turki began her campaign about two weeks ago, distributing thousands of free masks to the residents of the Tuwaiq region, in addition to spreading awareness messages through social media. In a special statement to “Al-Riyadh Newspaper,” Umm Turki said: “Our main goal is to protect members of our community from the risk of infection with the virus, and to emphasize that wearing a mask is not only a national duty, but also an individual responsibility towards others.”

    Official statistics issued by the Saudi Ministry of Health indicate that the Tuwaiq region recorded 127 new cases of coronavirus infection last week, representing a 15% increase compared to the previous week. In this context, the official spokesperson for the Ministry, Dr. Muhammad Al-Abd Al-Aali, stressed the importance of adhering to precautionary measures, saying: “We need the cooperation of all members of society to limit the spread of the virus, and wearing a mask remains one of the most important means of prevention.”

    Umm Turki’s campaign received wide interaction from the residents of the Tuwaiq region, as many citizens and residents participated in distributing masks and spreading awareness messages. In this context, one of the region’s residents, Abdullah Al-Utaybi, said: “We appreciate the efforts of Umm Turki and everyone who contributes to spreading awareness of the importance of adhering to precautionary measures. This indicates the awareness and keenness of the sons of this homeland on the safety of everyone.”

    Umm Turki’s campaign comes to highlight the importance of the role of individuals in supporting official efforts to limit the spread of the coronavirus. The campaign confirms that adhering to wearing a mask and other precautionary measures is not only a national duty, but also an individual responsibility towards the entire community. With the continued recording of new cases of infection in the Tuwaiq region and other regions of the Kingdom, such community initiatives remain necessary to enhance awareness and commitment to preventive measures.
