Egypt’s public holidays in 2027.
Every public holiday, with Ramadan and the two Eids. Fixed dates are given as days; the Islamic ones move every year and are given as the range they can fall in, until the moon is sighted.
12 public holidays: 8 on fixed dates and 4 that follow the Islamic calendar. Those 4 are forecasts until the official moon sighting, so each is shown as a range.
Ramadan, the month of fasting, is expected from 8 or 9 February to 8 or 9 March. It is not a public holiday itself; Eid al-Fitr at its end is.
2 of the 8 fixed dates fall on a Friday or Saturday, Egypt's weekend: Labour Day (Saturday), 23 July Revolution Day (Friday).
Months with no public holiday: February, September, November, December.
