Saudi Arabia: 2-Day Public Holiday To Coincide With OPEC Meeting

Sources: Reuters and Saudi Arabia public holidays. A two-day public holiday has been declared in Riyadh, for Saturday and Sunday, November 17 and 18, to coincide with the current OPEC Summit (as had been done, last March, on the occasion of the Arab Summit). This was due to security concerns, and to alleviate traffic, as many central roads in Riyadh have been closed for the duration of the summit.
