Frequently asked

How many long weekends does Saudi Arabia have in 2027?

What is the longest long weekend in Saudi Arabia in 2027?

6 consecutive days off from Friday, April 16 to Wednesday, April 21 (with one leave day on Sunday, April 18). Includes Eid Al Fitr, Eid Al Fitr – Day 2, Eid Al Fitr – Day 3.

If I use 3 leave days this year, how many total days off can I get in Saudi Arabia?

Taking the 3 bridge days flagged here gets you 32 total days off across 8 breaks. Without any leave, 16 days off across 5 natural breaks.

Are these dates confirmed?

Fixed-date holidays (New Year, National Day, Labour Day, Commemoration Day) are gazetted by the relevant ministry and confirmed for 2027. Lunar holidays — Eid Al Fitr, Eid Al Adha, Islamic New Year, Mawlid, Isra and Mi'raj — are scheduled against the Hijri calendar and flip to confirmed once the moon-sighting committee announces, usually one to three days before.

Which working week does Saudi Arabia follow?

Saudi Arabia runs a Sunday–Thursday working week, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend. Every break here respects that schedule.

How we built this

We walk the Saudi Arabia public-holiday calendar against the Friday–Saturday weekend and find every run of 3+ consecutive non-working days. Bridge opportunities flag where one working day sits between two non-working stretches, so taking a single leave day unlocks a 4+ day break. The full holiday calendar lives at /holidays/saudi-arabia/2027.
