On the 18th December every year, we celebrate our National Day to commemorate that historical day in 1878 when Shaikh Jasim, the founder of the state, succeeded his father Sheikh Mohammed Bin Thani in leading the country towards unity and foundation.

Qatar National Day is a national event to assure our identity and history, execute the ideals and visions which our nation was built on, to appreciate the men and women who contributed in building its facilities.

On 18th December each year, we commemorate how our national unity was achieved, and how we became a coherent strong country; after we were groups and tribes torn by different loyalties; invaded by different people and its societies always suffered from the lack of security and law.

On the 18th December we all remember the founder Shaikh Jasim Bin Mohammed, and we remember with him all his people who loved and trusted him, who appointed him their leader, promising to extend their obedience, so Jasim granted them loyalty and safety, delivering Qatar and its people to the twentieth century with pride and dignity.
