 Saudi Arabia on Tuesday marked for the first time ever the kingdom's Founding Day almost three centuries ago.

Designated by Saudi Arabian King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in January, the Founding Day is to mark the day when Imam Muhammed bin Saud established the first Saudi state in the town of Diriyah, northwest of Riyadh, in 1727.

The occasion is celebrated with a host of cultural events across Saudi Arabia.

The Turaif district, first capital of Saudis, in Diriyah was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.
