Monitoring Weekly Holiday Shift
On July 22, 1989, Sultan Qaboos bin Said issued a royal decree changing the weekend from Friday to Thursday and Friday, aiming to strengthen family ties and improve the government work environment in Oman. The decree also organized working hours from Saturday to Wednesday, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with implementation beginning on July 23, 1989. This change reflects the Sultan's interest in balancing work requirements with the needs of society and families, and it contributed to the development of administrative performance. Its impact remained evident for over three decades, until the weekend was unified with the Gulf countries in 2013.
