Dear colleagues,
In alignment with the recent royal decree to observe February 22 as the Founding Day for the establishment of the first Saudi state in 1727, we are pleased to inform you that February 22 will be an annual official University holiday.
Saudi Founding Day is different from the Saudi National Day which is celebrated every year on September 23, the day that marks the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932.
If you already have leave booked in the system for February 22 this will be automatically credited back to you.
If you have any questions, please contact HRHelpdesk@kaust.edu.sa.
