The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing in Saudi Arabia has announced the issuance of over 35,000 permits to operate around the clock until the end of September 2026, as part of regulating commercial activities during extended hours and facilitating service delivery to beneficiaries. These permits provide establishments with flexibility in organizing their operating hours, provided they comply with the regulations. They also specify suitable locations for nighttime operations, taking care not to impact residential neighborhoods. Additionally, the Ministry clarified that each permit is valid for one year and can be obtained electronically through the "Balady" platform, with certain exceptions for specific purposes such as fuel stations and medical facilities, which are required to obtain the necessary approvals.
