Private-sector holidays under the Labour Law regulations. Government offices get longer Eid breaks. Eid dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar and the moon sighting.

Dates marked tentative follow the moon: Islamic holidays use the Umm al-Qura calendar and depend on the moon sighting, and festival dates for years without an official list are estimated. The official date can differ by a day.
