Frequently asked questions

Egypt has 13 national public holidays in 2025. The first is Christmas Day on January 7, 2025 and the last is Armed Forces Day on October 6, 2025.

What is the first public holiday of 2025 in Egypt?

When is New Year celebrated in Egypt in 2025?

In 2025, Islamic New Year in Egypt is on June 26, 2025.

Are regional holidays included for Egypt?

No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Egypt are listed separately on the Egypt holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.

Do the Egypt holiday dates change from 2025 to the next year?

Some of them do. 5 of the 13 holidays in 2025 sit on a moving rule (islamic (hijri) calendar and linked to orthodox easter), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) on March 30, 2025, Sham El Nessim on April 21, 2025 and Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) on June 6, 2025, plus 2 more.

How far ahead is the Egypt calendar actually fixed?

Through 2027. The holidays are set in law rather than announced year by year, so the dates repeat predictably. What can still change is a law amendment, a one-off holiday declared for a national event, and the exact day of any holiday on the Islamic calendar, which is confirmed by moon sighting. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Egypt.

Which Egypt holidays are regional, and which move?

The table above is the national calendar for 2025. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Egypt holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
