Important: Official working hours will be adjusted during the holy month of Ramadan.

Arab Weather - Prime Minister Dr. Jaafar Hassan decided in an official statement issued today, Saturday, to set official working hours during the holy month of Ramadan, from nine in the morning until two and a half in the afternoon.

According to the statement, official working hours in all ministries, official departments, institutions, public bodies, official universities, municipalities, joint services councils, the Greater Amman Municipality, and companies wholly owned by the government, starting from the first of Ramadan, will be from nine in the morning until two and a half in the afternoon, and will return to what they are now after the holy month of Ramadan.

The statement excluded employees of departments whose official work requires otherwise, so that their working hours would be arranged administratively by their department heads.

The statement stressed to all institutions the need to preserve the sanctity of the holy month and to respect the feelings of those who are fasting.
