I don't think Saudi Arabia offical national time is solar, although that
may be local practice.  Lots of places have zones off by 1/2 hour,
including part of Australia.  The only nation I am aware of where the
offical national time is not even vaguely related to the international
standard zones is Afghanistan.  Official national Afghan time is local
mean solar time in Kabul, which is some bizarre number of minutes and
seconds off from any other zone.
