That means a long weekend right at the start of the year! It is ideal for a quick getaway, some downtime at home, or simply catching your breath after a busy start to 2026.<\/p>    <div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <p>Next comes <strong>Eid Al Fitr<\/strong>, expected around <strong>March 18\u201319<\/strong> (subject to moon sighting). Both public and private sector employees can enjoy several days of celebrations, family gatherings, and much-needed rest after Ramadan.

If you\u2019re dreaming of traveling abroad or planning a longer staycation, this is your best chance. Flights and hotels fill up quickly, so early planning really pays off.<\/p>    <div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <p>Finally, <strong>Saudi National Day on September 23<\/strong> falls on a Wednesday.
