Local business guidance
Sunday to Thursday Workweek
Algeria observes a Sunday-through-Thursday workweek. Friday and Saturday form the official weekend, with Friday designated as the main religious and rest day.
Friday Prayer Closures
Many street shops and restaurants remain closed or pause operations on Friday morning, opening in the early afternoon after congregational Jumu'ah prayers around 14:00.
Ramadan & Holiday Shifts
During Ramadan, government, banking, and office schedules shorten significantly to daytime hours (typically 09:00 to 15:00), while dining venues open primarily after sunset for Iftar.
Saturday Banking Access
While full banking services run Sunday through Thursday, major state bank branches maintain designated Saturday morning shifts from 09:00 to 12:00 for essential transactions.
