August 2026's First Official Vacation
Egypt announces its first official holiday in August 2026, which is the Islamic New Year (Mawlid al-Nabi) scheduled for Wednesday, August 26. It is a paid holiday for workers and students. There are no official decisions yet regarding any potential rescheduling, but if it is moved to Thursday, employees will enjoy three consecutive days off, contingent upon an official decision from the Council of Ministers. Throughout 2026, the official holiday calendar in Egypt includes approximately 18 paid days, covering national and religious occasions. The Armed Forces Day will take place on October 6, 2026, following the Mawlid al-Nabi holiday. The dates of these holidays are important for planning vacations and travel, and their significance increases if they are moved to allow longer breaks for employees.
