💡 Insights

The common work week runs from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend, though officially only Friday is a holiday. A cultural practice involves declaring partial workdays (often 4 hours) on the eve of major religious holidays like Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Compensatory work on a Friday (a weekend day) may also be scheduled to offset long holiday periods like Nowruz.
