A large crowd of residents and visitors gathered at the ROSHN Waterfront to witness the displays, waving Saudi flags and scarves in celebration. The daily air shows, organized under the Ministry of Defense's celebratory flight program, will continue through Sunday, Sept. 20, offering a three-day spectacle along the waterfront. In addition to Jeddah, air shows will also take place in Riyadh and Al-Khobar as part of the National Day festivities.",
