Governing Law: Official public holidays in Egypt are regulated by the Decree No. 112 of 2003 determining the holidays considered as leave with full pay for workers as supllemented by punctual Presidential Decrees. • Weekends: Weekend days in Egypt are Fridays and Saturdays. • Eid al Adha is only a paid public holiday for 3 days and Eid al Fitr for 2 days. Banks usually give a 4th and 3rd day respectively, while some government agencies and other businesses allow for a 5th and 4th day of paid holidays respectively. • Sham el-Nessim, although based on the Coptic calendar, is celebrated by both Christians and Muslims so it is considered a national rather than religious festival. • Coptic Christmas (Jan-7) became an official public holiday in 2003. Prior to that its observance was limited to Coptic Christians. • Western Christmas (Dec-25) is gaining in popularity, year by year, as a non-denominational, and non-official, holiday . • Egypt International Codes EG and EGY (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .eg (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Egypt information and news: Central Bank of Egypt (Egypt central bank), UnitedHealthcare Global (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Egypt maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Egypt), and Wikipedia (includes Egypt commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).

Observance : Any entry in the Observance column indicates that, in Egypt, the holiday may be regional or non-official or limited to certain religious and/or linguistic groups, or begin at a time other than midnight. Note that religious holidays are included only if they are national public holidays, or if the national labour code has specific holiday allowances for employees of specific religions.

Religious Holidays : Public holidays in Egypt that are based on certain religious calendars may be subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities, or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious (bad luck). To find out more about these uncertainties, see the footnote below, if any, for each specific religion.

Muslim Holidays : Muslim bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays, for Egypt, were calculated using the Egyptian Survey Authority (ESA) lunar visibility criteria. For Salat (prayer times) calculations, see our Freeware page.
