About Public Holidays in Egypt
Egypt has one of the most diverse public holiday calendars in the Arab world, combining national commemorations, Islamic religious observances, and a unique Coptic Christian holiday. Uniquely among Arab countries, Egypt observes Coptic Christmas on 7 January as an official public holiday, reflecting the significant presence of the Coptic Orthodox Church and the country's ancient Christian heritage. National holidays include the 25 January Revolution, Sinai Liberation Day on 25 April, Labour Day, and the 23 July Revolution. Islamic religious holidays follow the lunar Hijri calendar, with dates officially confirmed by Dar Al-Iftaa Egypt based on moon sighting observations. Egypt's holiday calendar is among the longest in the region, with nine distinct public holidays in 2026. Egypt's economy rests on tourism, agriculture, manufacturing, and remittances, with the standard work week running Sunday through Thursday and the weekend on Friday and Saturday. Islamic holidays shift approximately ten days earlier each Gregorian year due to the shorter lunar Hijri calendar.
