The Significance of Qatar National Day

Qatar National Day, celebrated every December 18, commemorates the country’s independence from the United Kingdom in 1971. It also honors Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani, who became Qatar’s ruler in 1878. Known as the founder of modern Qatar, Sheikh Jassim united local tribes and shaped the nation’s identity. The holiday is often referred to as Founder’s Day in recognition of his contributions.
