There’s lots of action going on for Saudi Arabia’s 87th National Day. One of the most significant is that for the first time ever, women will be allowed to attend the Kingdom’s official annual celebration with their families. Women have been invited to head out to the King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh with their loved ones to partake in what used to be a male-only event. Then, of course there are all the different activities that go on every time September 23 rolls around.
If you’re living in the UAE, you certainly don’t have to feel left out. The sister Gulf nation is exhibiting the spirit of togetherness with fireworks sparking off in several locations, like Dubai Creek and Dubai Festival City. Plus, Arab pop stars like Balqees, Dalia Mubarak, Waed and Rakan Khaled are chiming in with concerts. Traditional Khaleeji entertainment and heartwarming hospitality, including Arabic coffee and dates, can be enjoyed at Mall of the Emirates, City Centre Deira and City Centre Mirdif. You can even express your solidarity with the Kingdom on Twitter, using an Arabic hashtag of the slogan “together_always,” which produces a custom emoji of King Salman and the Saudi Crown Prince, Prince Mohammad bin Salman.
