Of the 14 holiday dates in 2026, 8 fall on a working day and 6 on the weekend. The most common weekday for a holiday is Tuesday, with 3 dates.
Three of the 14 dates land on a Thursday or Sunday, next to the weekend, so they make a long weekend without using any leave: New Year's Day on Thursday, January 1, Eid al-Fitr Holiday (estimated) on Sunday, March 22 and Eid al-Adha Holiday (estimated) on Thursday, May 28. One more holiday sits one working day away from the weekend, so a single day of leave turns it into a four-day break: Independence Day on Monday, May 25 (take Sunday off).
May is the busiest month, with 6 holiday dates. Six months have no public holiday at all (February, April, July, September, October and November). The longest stretch between two holidays is 122 days, from Prophet's Birthday (estimated) on August 25 to Christmas Day on December 25, the natural window for a longer break.
10 dates are marked as estimated in the source data, so confirm them nearer the time.
2027 brings 15 public holidays, 1 holiday more than 2026. 9 of the 14 dates fall on a working day, and 3 land next to the weekend.
