Public holidays in Saudi Arabia are nationwide days off recognised by the government, when most banks, schools and government offices close and many businesses adjust their hours. They mark historical, cultural, religious or civic occasions and are a standard reference point for logistics coordinators scheduling shipments and deliveries working with Saudi Arabia.

2 fixed-date public holidays are documented for Saudi Arabia in the table above, on top of movable observances shown in the live calendar. The exact total varies year to year — some holidays fall on a fixed date, while Easter-based, Islamic-calendar or other lunar observances shift annually, and some are added by regional decree. See the live calendar above for the current list of upcoming and recently observed dates.

Official public holidays in Saudi Arabia are enacted by national acts of parliament and published via www.my.gov.sa. These non-working days carry legal status for banking, public administration, and employment compliance.
