The Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development announced Saturday, September 23, the Saudi National Day, as an official holiday.

Fireworks

Enjoy fireworks this weekend at Dubai Parks and Resorts. There will be two displays on September 23, at 7pm and 9pm. While you could end your note with the display after visiting one or more of the other parks here, you could head just to Riverland Dubai to enjoy the displays for free.
