The Official Gazette published a decision regarding the closure of shops, commercial malls, restaurants and cafes during the month of Ramadan, in addition to the Eid al-Fitr holiday for this year.

The decision comes as follows: “The closing times for shops, commercial malls, restaurants, cafes and bazaars during the month of Ramadan and the Eid al-Fitr holiday for this year will be daily at 2:00 am with the continuation of the take-out service and the home delivery service 24 hours for restaurants and cafes."

"The workshops within the residential blocks must adhere daily to closing at 10:00 pm, except for the workshops located on the roads and gas stations."

Moreover, grocery stores, supermarkets, bakeries, and ovens are not subject to the aforementioned timings, taking into account the nighttime activities of some stores, such as stores selling fruits and vegetables, poultry stores, wholesale markets, and pharmacies.”
