Welcome

The gov't of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is theocratic where state affairs are governed by the king but lifestyle of the Saudis is controlled by religious elders (read, Muslim sheikhs) who would detest observance of anniversaries other than the two Islamic holidays, viz: Eid Al-Fitr & Eid Al-Adha. Never had I heard Fathers Day (Arabic, Yawm Al-Ab يوم الأب) for three decades that I lived there. Hence, it is absolutely a mistake to include Saudi Arabia as among countries observing Fathers Day on the 3rd Sunday of June. Do rectify to add more credibility on the article.

Saudi Arabia does celebrate Father's Day, as of at least 2019. Here's a local daily newspaper talking about it and setting its date as June 21st: https://www.okaz.com.sa/variety/na/2200657 145.82.53.240 (talk) 03:19, 16 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Map of dates when Father's Day is celebrated has no key for what colours are what

Are the colours in the huge drop-down table? GeorgeWL 1990 (talk) 15:07, 15 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
