Planning leave in Egypt

Egypt gives 15 public days off in 2026 — all of them nationwide. The longest weekend run this year is 5 days (27 May – 31 May). The busiest month is May, and holidays land most often on a Thursday — two facts that are enough to decide when a ticket must be bought early.

Countries with multi-faith calendars usually have «moving» holidays (Eid al-Fitr, Easter, Chinese New Year, Diwali) whose dates change every year, so check the table a year ahead before booking school holidays.
