Bahrain National Day 2023

Google Dooles 16.12.2023 04:15  Date: December 16, 2023 Today’s Doodle kicks off a two-day holiday in Bahrain — National Day. On this day in 1971, the first emir of independent Bahrain, Isa Bin Salman Al Khalifa, took power, and the island nation was free from British rule. The Kingdom of Bahrain bubbles with excitement on National Day as people celebrate the country's achievements. However, Bahraini culture and history date back much further than 1971 — humans have inhabited the islands since prehistoric times. Entertainers of all kinds put on performances, and citizens attend laser light displays, magic shows, and contests. Bahrainis also mark the event with cultural displays including art, language, and musical performances like Fjiri, which commemorates the nation’s pearling legacy. The colors of Bahrain’s flag, as shown in today’s Doodle, can be seen across the country. Red and white lights shine onto landmarks like the Riffa Clock Tower, and hanging lights twinkle from buildings and trees. The night ends with fireworks bursting in the sky, but don’t worry, the festivities will continue tomorrow! Happy National Day, Bahrain. Location: Tags:
