A day for the universal mystery of laundry, missing pairs, household systems, and the small comic defeats of domestic life.
The day when Kuwaitis remember the founding of the Kuwaiti state by the Al-Sabah family in 1752. According to tradition, the Sabah family was chosen by the other merchant families to govern Kuwait, and the arrangement (the "Sabah agreement") established a system of governance that has endured for over 250 years. The continuity of leadership is a source of stability in a region where regime change is common, and the Sabah family is one of the longest-ruling dynasties in the Arab world. The day is not an official holiday but is observed by the historical society and in the diwaniyas, where the story of the founding is told and retold.
