Saudi Arabia is to change its weekend from Thursday to Friday to Friday to Saturday to bring the working week in sync with the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The Kingdom was the only remaining state with the Thursday Friday weekend following Oman’s move to the Friday Saturday format in May.
Saudi news agency SPA said the change this coming weekend, “for the sake of putting an end to the negative effects and the lost economic opportunities consistently associated with variation based on work days between local departments, ministries and institutions and the regional and international counterparts”.
