About Public Holidays in Qatar

Qatar's public holiday calendar is concise, focusing on the country's most significant national and Islamic occasions. Qatar National Day on 18 December is the premier celebration, marking the unification of Qatar under Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani in 1878 and observed with major public events and fireworks. Qatar occasionally adds Sport Day as a public holiday in certain years. Qatar's only Islamic public holidays are Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha, each with a break of several days confirmed through official moon sighting; the Islamic New Year and the Prophet's Birthday are not days off. Qatar has invested significantly in workers rights protections in recent years, and private sector employees are entitled to full paid leave on all public holidays under Qatari Labour Law. Liquefied natural gas and oil form the foundation of Qatar's economy, alongside finance, tourism, and sports sectors. The standard work week runs Sunday through Thursday with the weekend on Friday and Saturday. Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha dates change each year according to the lunar Hijri calendar, with official authorities announcing final dates based on confirmed moon sightings.
