Oman to align weekend days with other Gulf countries
- Oman: Monday, April 08 - 2013 at 10:23
From May 1, Oman will switch to a Friday-Saturday weekend to align its banking and business days with most other nations in the region, the Associated Press has reported. Currently, Oman and Saudi Arabia follow a Thursday-Friday weekend, but other countries in the Gulf start their two-day weekends on Friday. The decree by Oman's ruler, Sultan Qaboos bin Said, also ordered private companies to give their employees the same number of religious holidays as civil servants in an effort to make non-state jobs more attractive.
