Saudi National Day is a newer holiday celebrated on September 23. For many years, the only two holiday celebrations that were allowed in Saudi Arabia were religious holidays - one to mark the end of the annual religious pilgrimmage called Hajj and the other to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan, the religious observance when Muslims fast during the daylight hours.
It's nice to see festive decorations around the city to mark these holidays, which now include Saudi National Day. Green tends to be the prominent color for this holiday, since it's the color of the Saudi flag.
