Government offices will reopen on Monday, 23 March, following the Eid al-Fitr holidays.

The President's Office announced on Friday that working hours for the first seven days of Shawwal have been set from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This schedule, in place since 1443 in the Islamic calendar, will apply during the coming week.

Government offices had been closed during the last ten days of Ramadan, aimed at upholding Islamic values and encouraging increased religious observance during the final days of the holy month.
