Planning business schedules or travel in Al Bahah Region, Saudi Arabia? Here is the complete public holiday reference for Al Bahah Region, detailing official statutory observances and bank non-working days.
Businesses, regional banks, and administrative offices across Al Bahah Region observe statutory public holidays in accordance with national labor regulations and official government decrees. In Al Bahah Region, statutory fixed-date public holidays (including Founding Day on February 22) mandate official non-working status for banks and government departments.
These are Saudi Arabia's official statutory fixed-date public holidays — the same national list shown on Saudi Arabia's country holiday page — mandated by national labor law and applicable across every state and city in Saudi Arabia, including Al Bahah Region. These non-working days apply to government administrative offices, commercial banking institutions, and schools statewide.
| Holiday Name | Fixed Date | Category | Closure Status | Official Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Founding Day | February 22 | National Public Holiday | Full Official Closure (Public & Private Sector Mandated Leave) | www.my.gov.sa |
| National Day | September 23 | National Public Holiday | Full Official Closure (Banks, Schools & Govt Administration) | www.my.gov.sa |
Statutory holidays landing on a Monday, Friday, Tuesday or Thursday create a long-weekend opportunity — here's what's coming up.
| Holiday | Date | Opportunity |
|---|---|---|
| Founding Day | Mon, Feb 22, 2027 | Automatic 3-day weekend |
Public offices, banks and schools throughout Al Bahah Region close on the same fixed-date statutory holidays observed nationwide, since public holidays in Saudi Arabia are a matter of national labor law rather than state-by-state decree.
When a fixed statutory public holiday falls on a weekend in Al Bahah Region, government gazette decrees often designate the adjacent Monday as an official substitute non-working day.
As Al Bahah Region's capital, Al Bahah observes the identical statutory calendar — there's no separate capital-city holiday list distinct from the rest of Al Bahah Region.
