Organizing and Celebrating Saudi Arabia National Day

The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia hosted a celebration of Saudi Arabia’s 87th National Day on September 28th. The celebration was held at the National Building Museum, which was completely decorated in green for the occasion. Mohammed Alyahyawi, a Hood College Graduate Student in Computer Science, was part of the organizing team. Mohammed heard of the event and was interested, so he sent his CV to the Embassy and was invited to assist in organizing the notable gathering. According to Mohammed, the event hosted over 5000 people and was a representation of Saudi food, drinks, dances and traditions, presented for people of all nationalities. Guests also enjoyed a virtual reality boot, which offered a visual experience and hands-on look into Saudi society. The government’s Vision 2030 project was also presented along with the Kingdom’s potential future plans.
