Rashad Iskandrni

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - 22 September 2026 - Bigo Live, a global social live-streaming platform, is hosting a four-part Saudi National Day live series led by creator Rimas. The campaign began on 16 September and runs through 23 September under the theme “عزنا بطبعنا - with Rimas” or “Our Pride Is in Our Nature - with Rimas,” bringing together Saudi creators and Arab creators living in Saudi Arabia for cultural discussions, team quizzes, audience games, lucky draws and rewards.

Marking Saudi Arabia’s 96th National Day, the series will celebrate the Kingdom’s cultural identity, heritage and community spirit through interactive broadcasts designed to make every audience member part of the occasion. The first session on 16 September brought together 16 content creators, setting a lively, community-led tone for the series.

Saudi Arabia’s highly connected population offers a natural setting for this live, creator-led experience. Results from the General Authority for Statistics’ latest ICT Access and Usage by Households and Individuals survey, released in January 2026, show that 99.0% of individuals aged 15 to 74 use the internet, while 96.2% of internet users participate in social networking platforms.

The live series features broadcasts on 16, 20, 22, and 23 September, culminating in the main National Day celebration on 23 September. Each two-hour broadcast runs from 10:00 PM to 12:00 AM through Rimas’ official Bigo Live host account, rimesrimo.

Each session will feature two core interactive experiences. During the Team Challenge and Saudi National Day Discussion, Rimas will welcome four guests and divide them into two teams. Guests will share their perspectives on Saudi National Day, Saudi culture and life in the Kingdom before taking part in a quiz focused on Saudi history, culture and general knowledge. The team with the highest score will take the win.

The Lucky Draw will invite viewers to answer questions through live comments. Winners will be drawn at random from the correct responses, creating a direct connection between the host, guests and the audience. During the final round, one supporter from the live room will choose a winner from the eligible comments, adding a community-led moment to the celebration.

Rimas is a longtime Bigo Live creator, community leader and agency owner whose content brings together Arabic-speaking audiences through light entertainment and live interaction. Her experience in creating lively, welcoming live rooms will anchor the series and help invite meaningful participation from creators and viewers across the Kingdom.

The campaign’s focus on local creative expression also reflects the journeys of creators across the Kingdom. Mohammed Al Barqi (BIGO ID: n.nn383), a Saudi creator known for his humour and interactive style, has built an engaged community on BIGO LIVE through entertaining content and direct interaction with his audience. Through spontaneous conversations and light-hearted exchanges, he has created a welcoming space that encourages viewers to participate, connect and share in the experience.

Raed (BIGO ID: R_0511), an aspiring Saudi poet and writer, found a platform for his passion through live streaming on BIGO LIVE. By sharing his poetry and creative work, he has been able to showcase his talent, engage with audiences and build meaningful connections with viewers across Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region.

“Saudi National Day is a moment to celebrate the Kingdom’s heritage, its people and the shared pride that connects communities across Saudi Arabia,” said Khaldoun Mahmoud, Government Relations Director, Middle East & North Africa, BIGO Technology. “Through ‘Our Pride Is in Our Nature - with Rimas,’ we are creating a space where creators and viewers can share their perspectives, enjoy cultural conversation and celebrate together in real time.”

The campaign will also feature guest appearances.Their appearances will expand the conversation across different voices and experiences while adding fresh energy to the live-room activities.

Through the Saudi National Day live series, Bigo Live continues to create spaces where communities can connect around shared cultural moments, celebrate local creativity and turn live interaction into meaningful participation.
