far, the <\/span><strong>Tadawul trades from Sunday to Thursday<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with Friday and Saturday being the weekend in Saudi Arabia.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of hours, day trading begins at 10 am and finishes at 3 pm on these days.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daylight saving isn&rsquo;t observed in the country, meaning the time zone is always Arabian Standard Time, GMT +3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Saudi Stock Exchange Tadawul Holidays<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Saudi financial markets are closed for public holidays, although these days move throughout the calendar because they&rsquo;re <\/span><strong>based on the Islamic calendar which follows lunar cycles.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dates for Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha &#8211; the two religious holidays observed &#8211; are only known weeks or even days in advance since the moon needs to be seen in order for the next month in the Islamic calendar to begin.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Day of Saudi Arabia, September 23rd, is also a holiday for the Tadawul.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&rsquo;s the trading hours and holidays for some of the biggest and most well-known stock exchanges in the world completed, so let&rsquo;s wrap this up.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrapping Up<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:
