This Is How Sheikh Mohammed’s Gift To Saudi Arabia For Its National Day Will Affect You
Friday marks Saudi Arabia’s National Day – a day which commemorates the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by King Abdulaziz in 1932. Wishing all the Saudis in Dubai (and the ones who come over during Eid breaks) a very Happy National Day.
We all know UAE’s close ties with the country and to celebrate the occasion His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum took to Twitter to announce the following:
Al Sufouh Road (aka Dubai Marina Street) will now be called King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street
You better take note of that because your next taxi ride could cause a little confusion #justsaying. Other than that, it requires a change in the way you write your address if you live or work in the area.
