In Saudi Arabia (and many other Muslim counties), Friday has traditionally been the only day off for private sector workers, who work Saturday to Thursday. (Remember we had a 6 day work week in the US until WWIIl.)

Nowadays, government (and some private sector) workers in Saudi Arabia (and its neighbors Oman and Yemen) are off on Thursday, so the weekend per se is Thurs/Fri.

Note that most of the rest of the Muslim world (and Israel) have a two-day weekend on Friday and Saturday. Adding Saturday as the second weekend day allows business on the Muslim world to align with the West for four out of five days.
