About this calendar
In 2026, Saudi Arabia observes 10 public holidays, beginning with Founding Day on and ending with Saudi National Day on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
Saudi Arabia works Sunday to Thursday, with the weekend on Friday and Saturday since a 2013 royal decree moved it from Thursday-Friday. The Labor Law caps standard hours at 48 per week, reduced during Ramadan for Muslim employees.
