In most Western countries, Friday is the fifth and final day of the working week. In some other countries, Friday is the first day of the weekend, followed by Saturday. In Israel, Friday is the sixth day of the week. In Iran, Friday is the last day of the weekend, with Saturday as the first day of the working week. Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia and Kuwait also followed this convention until they changed to a Friday–Saturday weekend on September 1, 2006, in Bahrain and the UAE, and a year later in Kuwait. In 2022 the UAE changed its weekend from Friday-Saturday to Saturday-Sunday.
