29/12/2019 Argaam

 

The decision of allowing businesses and stores to remain open 24 hours in Saudi Arabia will be effective on Wednesday, Jan.1, 2020.

 

Accordingly, business owners have to submit a request to relevant secretariats and municipalities, to obtain the required license.

 

In mid-July, Saudi Arabia’s Cabinet approved allowing commercial businesses and shops to open 24 hours in return of a charge to be determined by the Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs.

 

Argaam reported earlier that fees will not exceed SAR 100,000 per year.
