Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has declared a four-day break for Eid Al-Fitr 2023, for both private sector employees and non-profit organisations.

The Eid Al-Fitr holiday will begin in the kingdom at the end of the working day on Thursday, April 20, for four days.

The ministry has made the announcement of the holiday on social media platform Twitter.

Across the GCC region, moon-sighting committees announced the start of Ramadan, and many countries have introduced reduced working hours for the month
