As the end of Ramadan approaches, many people in Saudi Arabia are already preparing for the holiday. Several Riyadh malls have adjusted their working hours before Eid Al Fitr, opening right after dawn to give visitors a calm window for early shopping.

Saudi Arabia has recently confirmed the Eid Al Fitr 2026 holiday dates for both public and private sector employees. It means the festive break, along with the usual rush for gifts, outfits, and family preparations, is just around the corner. With some of the city’s busiest shopping destinations opening as early as 5 AM, there’s now a chance to take care of your Eid shopping early in the day and avoid the later crowds.

Here’s the list of the Riyadh Malls and their updated working hours before Eid Al Fitr:

Al Hamra Mall: 5 AM to 11 AM
Granada Mall: 5 AM to 5:30 PM
Nakheel Mall: 5 AM to 11 AM
The View Mall: 5 AM to 11 AM

Hayat Mall: 5:30 AM to 11 AM
Panorama Mall: 5:30 AM to 9 AM
Riyadh Park: 5:30 AM to 9 AM and 10 AM to 5 PM

If you’re planning to move around the city early in the morning, check the Riyadh Metro working hours during Ramadan. Outside the holy month, the metro typically opens at 5:30 AM for early commuters.
