Saudi Arabia’s 87th National Day will be celebrated on September 23, 2017 and fireworks and concerts are organised in Dubai to mark the day.
Last year, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, had ordered the renaming of Al Sufouh Street after His Highness King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, on the occasion of the 86th Saudi National Day.
This year, new logos to commemorate 87 years of Saudi Arabia was unveiled by the Dubai Media Office on Twitter.
Since today morning, telecom networks in UAE, Etisalat and Du changed their network names to ‘UAE KSA Together’. Twitter was filled with tweets about users surprised with the change, early in the morning.
On 23 September, residents and visitors can watch a spectacular fireworks display near Dubai Creek at 8.30pm while malls and popular family attractions in the emirate will also join in the celebrations by hosting events and activities including a Saudi National Day show, a unique Imagine show and a lego Bricks Festival at Dubai Festival City and the distribution of Saudi national flags to visitors at Dragon Mart 2.
