Bakery Operating Hours Extended in Ramadan 2025 to Meet High Demand

The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade has announced the operating hours for bakeries during Ramadan 2025, varying by governorate based on local demand. Some bakeries will be exempt from these hours to ensure bread availability during peak times, as determined by supply directorates.

Exempted bakeries will be allowed to operate until 9 PM, following each directorate’s plan. These include bakeries in high-density areas, bakeries near markets and commercial zones with high foot traffic, bakeries in rural and remote areas to ensure bread supply for residents, and bakeries operating under special systems as per supply directorate decisions. This includes bakeries that serve specific institutions, follow special production methods, or have agreements with local authorities to meet particular demands.

Most bakeries will open at 7 AM, while others will operate from 8 AM to 5 PM. The ministry emphasised the need for strict supply monitoring during Ramadan to ensure the availability of essential goods and high-quality local bread, particularly during peak hours.
