Clock rules in Abha
Abha keeps UTC+3 all year, the time of all of Saudi Arabia.
There is no daylight saving time here, and tzdata records none at any point.
The weekend in Saudi Arabia is Friday and Saturday, so the working week runs Sunday to Thursday (CLDR, the locale data phones and computers use): plan calls with a Monday-to-Friday office around it.
