   Useful Information
RADIO AND TELEVISION
 
The Saudi Ministry of Information supervises radio and television services and broadcasts. In addition to the main Arabic transmissions, there are radio broadcasts in many different languages. Saudi Television has two channels: one broadcasts solely in Arabic; the second is in English, with a news bulletin in French. Television transmissions reach the entire Kingdom, and are sometimes even received in neighbouring countries.
 
OFFICIAL HOLIDAYS
 
Friday is the weekly day of rest, but government offices are also closed on Thursdays. There are also two public holidays every year: the
Eid al-Fitr, which is over a week long, and Eid al-Adha, which is ten days.
 
WORKING HOURS
 
Government working hours are generally from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Private business concerns are generally open from 9:30 a.m. around
2:00 p.m., with an evening session from 17:00 p.m. until 20:00 p.m.
 
BANKING
 
There are eleven licensed commercial banks   operating in the Kingdom. These are regulated and supervised by the Saudi Arabian Monetary  Agency (SAMA). The banks have a large  branch network spread throughout the Kingdom. Development of banking services was further enhanced with the establishment of the Saudi Payments Network (SPAN)   with the participation of all banks in the Kingdom. SPAN is connected to 1,800 automatic teller machines (ATM's) and more than 15,890 Points of Sales (POS) installed at commercial stores and shopping centers with the objective of payment for purchases from such centers through ATM cards. At present, visitors to Saudi Arabia may use their credit cards such as VISA and Master Card to withdraw money directly through SPAN via its on- line ATMs. They  may also use these cards at POSs for payment  for their purchases.
Beside these, SAMA has provided further international services (inside the country), eg., VISA's Plus Electron and Cirrus Maestro to meet the requirements of travelers and visitors both at international airports and in local markets.
 
HOSPITALS
 
There are many general and specialized hospitals in the Kingdom, as well as clinics, infirmaries and private clinics offering their services to the public.
 
CURRENCY
 
The Saudi Arabian monetary unit is the Riyal, which is divided into 100 halalahs.
Notes are in 1,5,10, 20, 50,100, 200 and 500 Riyal denominations. The Riyal is quoted in US Dollars but is based on Special
Drawing Rights (SDR). As the SDR/Dollar rate varies, so the official Riyal/Dollar rate is revalued at intervals to keep within a narrow band with
US$ 1 = SR 3.75.
