Royal Seating Day (Arabic: عيد الجلوس الملكي, romanized: ʿīd al-julūs al-malakī) was the national accession day observed in the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz from 1930 to 1931, and later in Saudi Arabia from 1934 to 1963, commemorating the pledge of allegiance and anniversary of the succession to the country's throne by the hereditary sovereign.[1][2][3] It was observed on 8 January and 12 November throughout the rule of King Abdulalziz ibn Saud and his successor King Saud bin Abdulalziz respectively.[4] The celebrations were officially abrogated in 1965 when King Faisal bin Abdulaziz replaced it with the Saudi National Day.[5][6]
