Local business guidance

Sunday to Thursday Workweek

Saudi Arabia transitioned to a Sunday-through-Thursday workweek in 2013. Friday and Saturday serve as the national weekend across government, banking, and corporate offices.

Prayer Schedule Adjustments

Shops and public services may briefly pause operations during daily Muslim prayer times. On Friday, commercial venues open after afternoon Jumu'ah prayers.

Ramadan Working Hours

During Ramadan, Saudi Labor Law limits Muslim employee workdays to 6 hours. Commercial, dining, and retail sectors shift heavily toward night operations.

Evening Retail & Social Life

Due to warm daytime temperatures, shopping malls, markets, and dining places in Jeddah operate continuously late into the evening and past midnight on weekends.
