It's the end of an era
Weekends in Saudi Arabia are no longer Thursday and Friday! Which is what they've been all my life; Friday, namely, because Muslims attend their Friday prayer and sermon, naturally, on Fridays.
They're now Friday and Saturday.
After years of feeling a bit sluggish and excitable on Wednesdays in anticipation of the weekend, waiting for the last class to end, it's going to be a little bit hard to get used to a new weekend. It's very different from what we've gotten used to, but at least Friday is still ours.
Naturally, this means government offices will be closed on those days. The private sector will probably follow suit soon.
