The Bahraini flag is being featured with an animated Google Doodle on Wednesday in celebration of the country’s National Day.
Bahrain is marking the occasion with a two-day public holiday, with festivities scattered across the country including a massive fireworks display.
The day commemorates the creation of Bahrain as a state in 1783 by its founder Ahmed Al-Fateh, as well as the anniversaries of its full membership to the United Nations and the King’s accession to the throne.
