About Public Holidays in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's public holiday calendar reflects both its role as the custodian of Islam's two holiest sites and its distinct national history. National Day on 23 September commemorates the unification of the kingdom under King Abdulaziz in 1932, while Founding Day on 22 February — added as an official holiday in 2022 — marks the establishment of the First Saudi State in 1727. Religious public holidays are limited to Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha (with Arafat Day) — Saudi Arabia gives no days off for the Islamic New Year or the Prophet's Birthday — and their dates follow the Supreme Court's moon sighting announcements. Each Eid break lasts about four days; the Eid Al-Adha break begins on Arafat Day, at the height of the Hajj season, when millions of pilgrims are gathered in Mecca and Mina.

Practical Information for Residents and Visitors

All government ministries and public institutions close on officially declared public holidays.
Saudi Labour Law requires private sector employers to grant full paid leave on all official public holidays.
Retail outlets may operate reduced hours during Eid periods, particularly around prayer times.
Eid dates are officially announced by the Supreme Court after the moon sighting, typically one to two days in advance.
