In a ministerial decision, the 12 work areas that non-Saudis are not allowed are in the following areas:

  1. Watch shops
  2. Optical stores
  3. Medical equipment stores
  4. Electrical and electronics shops
  5. Outlets selling car spare parts
  6. Building material shops
  7. Outlets selling all types of carpets
  8. Automobile and mobike shops
  9. Shops selling home furniture and ready-made office materials
  10. Sale outlets of ready-made garments, children’s clothes, and men’s supplies
  11. Household utensils shops
  12. Pastry shops

Ministry spokesman Khaled Aba Al-Khail said the decision does not affect the memorandums of understanding signed with various regional governorates to restrict jobs to Saudis. He also said that the shop feminization would continue as planned. The third phase of the feminization of women accessory shops began last October.

It targets shops selling ladies’ perfumes, shoes, bags, stockings, and ready-made garments.
