The government has officially designated the working hours for this year’s holy month of Ramadan to be from 09:00 AM to 01:00 PM. According to a directive issued by the President’s Office, the official working hours for both the month of Ramadan and the first seven days of Shawwal will follow the previously established schedule, spanning from 09:00 AM to 01:00 PM. This schedule was initially established in a circular issued by the President’s Office on March 6, 2022, which remains the standard for every Ramadan since 1443 AH.
Each year, working hours during Ramadan are shortened compared to regular months. This adjustment is intended to provide ease for employees and allow more time for religious observances and spiritual activities. Furthermore, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu decided last year to declare the final ten days of Ramadan as public holidays, a change aimed at granting citizens the opportunity to dedicate themselves fully to worship and religious devotion during this period.
