Ajlan al-Ajlan, head of the Saudi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said "no instructions have been issued regarding restaurants during the day during Ramadan."
According to newspaper 24, rumors are circulating on social media that "the Saudi Chamber of Commerce and Industry has allowed Saudi and international restaurants to be open during the day during Ramadan."
Ajlan al-Ajlan said: "This claim regarding the Saudi Chamber of Commerce and Industry is baseless and has nothing to do with reality."
It is to be noted that rumors are circulating on social media that restaurants have been allowed to open for tourists during the day and they can serve food to tourists during the day, however, curtains should be installed in the restaurants. The exterior of the restaurant should be covered so that nothing can be seen from outside.
On the other hand, the Saudi Chamber of Commerce and Industry has denied the rumor.
