This is how Saudi Arabia celebrated its National Day

Saudi Arabia has been decked green — the color of its flag — as patriotic fervor and national pride take precedence over everything else. In celebration of the country’s 87th National Day all roads in the capital and other important cities have been covered with green flags and posters of King Salman and Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense. Many citizens have even got their cars painted green to celebrate the day. Celebrations, featuring wide variety of programs and activities include patriotic events, folk arts and dances, processions and fireworks, have been held throughout the Kingdom with the start of the celebrations since Thursday.
