How the countdown works
The countdown shows the next upcoming date in the calendar and counts to midnight at its start, Riyadh time, moving on automatically once it passes. At the end of the year it counts to the start of the break, the day after the last school day.
Notes
- The official calendar lists the start date of each break; return dates are announced by schools and education departments.
- Some regions or schools may differ, including private and international schools that follow other calendars.
- The Hijri dates are calculated on the Umm al-Qura calendar and match those published by the ministry.
To count school days between two dates with holidays, use the Working Days Calculator.
