Celebrating Saudi National Day with Sands UAE
On September 23rd, the Kingdom marks its National Day — a moment that traces back to 1932, when King Abdul Aziz Al Saud united the land into one nation. What began as a vision of unity became the foundation of modern Saudi Arabia, built on faith, strength, and resilience. Today, National Day is more than a holiday; it is a living symbol of heritage and ambition, a celebration of how far the Kingdom has come and the bright future it continues to shape.
A Historic Journey of Unity and Strength
The story of Saudi Arabia is one of transformation. In the early 20th century, the Arabian Peninsula was a land of scattered communities, each carrying its own traditions and ways of life. Through determination and leadership, King Abdul Aziz forged a single Kingdom, establishing not only political unity but also a cultural identity that remains a source of pride today. This act of unification is what we celebrate every September 23rd: a legacy of resilience and a foundation upon which future generations continue to build.
National Day serves as a bridge between the past and the future. It is a reminder of the values that carried the Kingdom through decades of growth, from its earliest years to its position now as a global leader in culture, innovation, and vision. Streets glow with green lights, flags wave proudly, and celebrations echo across Riyadh, Jeddah, and every corner of the nation. It is a time of belonging, a shared moment for families, communities, and generations.
Honoring Saudi National Day
Every year on September 23rd, Saudi Arabia marks its National Day, commemorating the historic moment in 1932 when King Abdulaziz Al Saud unified the Kingdom under one banner. This day symbolizes more than the birth of a nation—it represents the values of unity, faith, and resilience that have guided Saudi Arabia for generations.
Over the decades, National Day has become a celebration of both history and progress. From the Kingdom’s transformation through the discovery of oil in the 1930s, to its rapid modernization and its current vision for the future through Vision 2030, each milestone reflects a balance between honoring tradition and embracing innovation. Today, National Day is marked not only by fireworks and festivities across Riyadh, Jeddah, and beyond, but also by the spirit of pride and belonging that brings families and communities together. It is a day when the Kingdom’s journey—its heritage, achievements, and ambitions—is honored and shared with the world.
The Saudi National Day Collection
At Sands UAE, we recognize that National Day is not just a commemoration—it is a celebration of values that deeply resonate with us: heritage, unity, and timeless elegance. To honor this year’s celebration, we proudly present the Saudi National Day Collection: a handpicked selection of luxury watches, handbags, and jewelry that reflect pride, sophistication, and continuity. At its heart are heritage icons—classic creations from Rolex, Rolex, and Hermès, chosen for their timeless place in luxury history.

A Celebration of Living Heritage
National Day in Saudi Arabia reflects both history and living culture. Across the Kingdom, the streets come alive with fireworks lighting the sky, voices joining in song, and parades filled with pride. The Ardah — with its rhythmic drums and poetic chants — links the present generation to the stories of their ancestors, while heritage festivals showcase artistry in calligraphy, textiles, and crafts. Families gather in homes adorned in green, sharing meals, laughter, and traditions passed through generations.
Even in fashion and design, subtle touches of green and gold emerge as symbols of pride and unity. What makes these celebrations so powerful is the harmony between past and present — timeless rituals celebrated alongside modern achievements. Like true luxury, culture does not fade with time; it deepens, growing richer with every passing year.
