Celebrating Saudi National Day The KAUST School’s Arabic Department pulled out all the stops once again this year, with a week-long activities program for both the students and staff at TKS. As we celebrated the lead up to the 89th National Day of our host country, a huge variety of activities were enjoyed by all in TKS - including guest speakers, musical performances, traditional foods, the opportunity to explore musical instruments and photo booths in traditional Arabic tents. This was a week of cultural enrichment as well as fun, with wonderful performances including a demonstration of the Riyadh Traditional Folk Dance on Monday, September 16, and a dance performance traditional to the western region of Saudi Arabia at the assembly on Thursday, September 19 - the perfect way to end a week of celebration here at TKS.
