Between deadlines and devotion — how Saudi professionals balance work, worship during Ramadan

ALKHOBAR: For working professionals, the month of Ramadan reshapes the Saudi workday — and the actual structure of the day itself. Under Saudi labor regulations, working hours for employees are reduced during Ramadan to a maximum of six hours per day, or 36 hours per week. In practice, this often translates into office schedules beginning around 9 or 10 a.m. and ending mid-afternoon. The adjustment is designed to ease the strain of fasting, but deadlines and performance expectations remain unchanged.
