Saudi Arabia plans to ease curfew hours it imposed on several cities during the month of Ramadan to allow people more time to shop for essential needs within the boundaries of their neighbourhoods, state news agency (SPA) reported on Tuesday.

Currently, people living in areas under 24 hours curfew can go out for healthcare and to supermarkets from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. In Ramadan these hours will start from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., SPA said.
