Saudi Arabian National day is always celebrated on the 23rd of September. Known locally as Al-Yaom-ul-Watany, it marks September 23rd 1932, when King Abdulaziz announced the unification of the country as a kingdom. We conducted a high level review of retailer activity running up to Saudi National Day over time.
