Kuwait National Day 2022

Google Dooles 15.03.2022 19:46  Date: February 25, 2022 Evolving from a maritime trading post for pearl fishermen and merchants in the early 17th century, Kuwait is now an international business hub on the Arabian peninsula. Today’s Doodle celebrates Kuwait’s National Day, one of the nation’s most revered holidays. The first celebration of the national holiday took place on June 19, 1961, the date that Kuwait gained independence, but government officials shifted the National Day to February 25 to avoid the extreme summer heat . Even with cooler temperatures, celebrants traditionally still have fun by gathering at local attractions like the Messila Beach and Al-Sha’ab Leisure Park, where families enjoy picnics. The Kuwaiti national colors of white, red, black, and green, decorating the flag in the Doodle artwork, adorn everything from private homes to balloons jutting skyward from boats in the middle of the ocean. The traditional wind-tower architecture of local historical sites is beautified with the national colors, as seen in the coastal village of Al Bahhar, one of Kuwait’s early maritime trading outposts. Happy National Day, Kuwait! Location: Tags: , , , ,
