Weekend days by country
Not every weekend is Saturday and Sunday. Official weekend days for 50 countries as maintained in the Chronos dataset. Bold rows differ from the Saturday and Sunday default. Notable cases: Nepal rests only Saturday; Brunei splits its weekend across Friday and Sunday; much of the Middle East rests Friday and Saturday (the UAE moved to Saturday and Sunday in 2022; Saudi Arabia did not).
