Not all countries chose the same days for weekend and work days. Some Arab countries had Thursday – Friday as their weekend, but this has shifted to Friday – Saturday to align better with US/Europe etc.

Friday is the religious day of the week for Muslims, like Sunday is for Christians, so naturally they prefer to have that day off.
