The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development in Saudi Arabia has made an official announcement regarding the Eid Al Fitr holidays for the private sector, providing clarity and guidance to employers and employees alike.
In a statement shared on social media platforms, the Ministry declared that the Eid Al Fitr holidays for private sector employees will begin on Tuesday, April 9.
This announcement is crucial as it allows businesses and workers to plan and prepare for the upcoming holidays in advance.
Private sector employees across the Kingdom will be granted a four-day break to celebrate this significant religious festival.
When factoring in the regular Friday-Saturday weekend in Saudi Arabia, the holiday period extends to a generous five days. This means that workers in the private sector can enjoy an extended break from Tuesday, April 9, to Saturday, April 13.
The Ministry’s decision to grant this extended holiday aims to ensure that employees have adequate time to spend with their families, participate in Eid Al Fitr festivities, and observe the religious customs and traditions associated with this important occasion.
This official announcement by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development is a welcomed gesture that will enable private sector employees in Saudi Arabia to fully embrace and enjoy the spirit of Eid Al Fitr.
