Celebrating Saudi Founding Day – 22 February
Every year on 22 February, the Kingdom proudly commemorates Saudi Founding Day, marking the establishment of the first Saudi state in 1727 by Imam Muhammad bin Saud in Diriyah.
This historic occasion reflects nearly three centuries of leadership, unity, stability, and continuous development that shaped what is today the Saudi Arabia.
The Meaning of Founding Day
Saudi Founding Day is more than a national celebration—it is a tribute to:
-
The deep-rooted history of the Kingdom
-
The strength and unity of its people
-
The visionary leadership across generations
-
The cultural heritage and traditions that define the nation
It highlights the journey from the First Saudi State (1727), to the Second Saudi State, and ultimately to the unification of the Kingdom by King Abdulaziz Al Saud in 1932.
A Legacy of Growth and Vision
From its historical foundations in Diriyah to its modern transformation under King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Mohammed bin Salman, the Kingdom continues to advance with ambitious development initiatives aligned with Vision 2030.
Saudi Founding Day reminds us of the resilience, determination, and strong governance that laid the groundwork for today’s prosperity.
Our Commitment
On this proud occasion, we reaffirm our commitment to contributing positively to the Kingdom’s growth and development. As we celebrate the heritage and achievements of Saudi Arabia, we also look forward to building a stronger and more prosperous future together.
