Answered from the New York week rather than a table someone typed one winter. London, New York and most Arab countries change clocks on different dates — or never — so a fixed table is wrong for part of every year. This one recomputes on every request.
Yes — the forex market is open. It closes in 9h 43m.
An open market is not an invitation to trade — measurement, not advice. Exact availability at the week's edges depends on your broker.

The table on this page answers it live, in fifteen Arab-country time zones at once, and it is computed rather than looked up. The forex market trades around the clock from Sunday evening to Friday evening New York time, and is closed over the weekend.
The week opens at 17:00 New York time on Sunday, which is Monday early morning across the Gulf. Because it is anchored to the New York clock, the local time shifts by an hour when US daylight saving changes, even in countries that never change their own clocks.
Most tables are written once, in winter time, and never recomputed. London and New York change clocks on different dates from each other and from most Arab countries, so a fixed table is wrong for part of every year. Every time on this site is derived from each market's own clock at the moment you load the page.
Not on Saturday, and not for most of Sunday. Trading resumes Sunday evening New York time. Exact availability at the edges depends on your broker.
