Saudi Arabia’s unification in 1932 was not just the birth of a modern state but also a turning point that preserved a wealth of traditions still alive today. These customs rooted in faith and geography continue to shape Saudi identity reminding people of their resilience and deep sense of community. On the Kingdom’s 95th National Day they are celebrated as more than history they represent the way of life that defines Saudi society.
Hospitality has always been a cornerstone of Saudi culture. Welcoming guests with open hearts, sharing coffee and dates, and offering a place of comfort have long been marks of generosity. In earlier times, life in the desert depended on trust and human connection, making it essential to treat every visitor as a friend. Even today, pouring Arabic coffee from the elegant dallah pot into small finjan cups carries with it a sense of pride, honor, and cultural continuity.
Poetry has played a powerful role in preserving Saudi history and values. For centuries Bedouins in the Arabian deserts gathered around campfires to recite and verses that spoke of the bravery loyalty and unity. Known as the “diwan of the Arabs poetry became a living record of battles fought leaders praised and stories passed down through generations.
