Saudi Holiday Planner

Planning Your Time Off Around Saudi Holidays

This planner helps you arrange vacations and long weekends around the official public holidays observed in Saudi Arabia. By lining up your annual leave with existing days off, you can stretch a short break into a longer trip while spending fewer of your own leave days. It is built for students, employees, families, and content creators who want to schedule travel and projects efficiently.

The major recognized holidays in the Kingdom include Eid al-Fitr, which follows the month of Ramadan, Eid al-Adha during the Hajj season, and Saudi National Day on 23 September, along with Founding Day on 22 February. Because the two Eids follow the Hijri lunar calendar, their Gregorian dates shift earlier by roughly eleven days each year, so planning ahead matters.

Getting the Most From a Break

Look for holidays that fall near a weekend, then add a day or two of leave to bridge the gap and create an extended block. Exact official dates, especially for the Eids, depend on moon sighting and government announcements, so confirm them close to the time before booking flights or hotels. Employer leave policies also vary, so check your own entitlement when finalizing plans.
