This year’s KSA National Day celebrations in Dubai will once again welcome UAE residents, visitors and Saudi citizens to enjoy a packed line-up of family-friendly festivities, super sales and great promotions.

Organised by Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), all of the malls, stores and landmarks taking part in the KSA National Day calendar of events will follow all of the important health and safety rules, including the wearing of masks at all times and social distancing.

Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), said:

“This year’s KSA National Day is a cause for much celebration for UAE residents and Saudi citizens alike. Dubai is ready to welcome back visitors from KSA. The reopening of borders and transport links between the two nations has come at the perfect time, and we are looking forward to receiving families who have made the journey from Saudi to celebrate their country’s national day in Dubai, their home away from home. This year’s festivities will feature a great line-up of events that showcase Dubai’s standing as the number one retail and entertainment destination with special events that have been created especially for visitors from KSA.”
