Hello,

Can anyone here tell me how many days do Saudi international schools shut for Eid ? How many days into the fasting month does the holiday normally start ? Any idea on specific dates for this year ?

Cheers

While every international school in the kingdom has its own holiday schedule, the English-medium schools tend to have very similar (or identicle) holiday breaks for both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

My son attends an English-medium, international school and this year he will get a week off from school for Eid al-Fitr (October 21-25). He will get no time off for Eid al-Adha since, this year, it falls within his school's nomally scheduled one-month Winter Holiday.

I hope this helps, but do keep in mind that every school has its own holiday schedule and if you want more specific information about a particular school, you will need to contact that school directly.
