Well to your bitter surprise and horror Kuwait(well not only Kuwait, Kuwait and neighbors) have Friday and Saturday as weekends, well this was only since 2007 because apparently before that they had Thursday and Friday as weekends. What do you infer from this trend? Is it, they are in steps somehow trying to close in to 'western' Saturday and Sunday as weekends. Well the truth is far more relieving and logical. In cultures, the day of rest derives from the main religious tradition: Sunday (Christian), Saturday (Jewish), or Friday (Muslim).So, this trend is to allow for respect of Fridays as the day for Jumu'ah
prayers in Muslim countries while also having more working days to
overlap with international financial markets.
