The changes to the weekend in Saudi Arabia have been widely reported. The change takes place this weekend with the official weekend taking three days (Thursday 27 June, Friday 28 June and Saturday 29 June). As is so often the case any deadlines which fall on the weekend will be moved to the next working day (Sunday 30 June).
Professional firms in Saudi Arabia have been used to working from Saturday to Thursday lunchtime and it will be interesting to see how they amend their work patterns. This part of the Empty Quarter can remember the changes to the weekends in the United Arab Emirates many years ago and wonders how long businesses in Saudi Arabia will take to settle in to a happy routine of having Friday and Saturday off work.
