The official Egypt holiday schedule for 2027 has not been announced yet. Statutory holidays are shown, but the final arrangement — including any extra days off and the weekend working days used to bridge them — is normally published late in the preceding year and may differ.
12 of the 24 days off shown for Egypt in 2027 fall on dates that are not confirmed yet. Islamic holidays follow the lunar Hijri calendar, and their Gregorian dates are fixed by moon sighting — usually announced only days in advance. Treat these as indicative.
- Public holiday — A nationwide day off.
- Limited holiday — A day off for certain groups, sectors, localities, or by choice.

About these holidays
Labor Day
1 May in most countries; the first Monday of September in the United States and Canada.
The workers' holiday. Almost everywhere it falls on 1 May; in the United States and Canada it was deliberately placed in September to avoid the associations of May Day.
Eid al-Adha
10 Dhu al-Hijjah, about seventy days after Eid al-Fitr, confirmed by moon sighting.
The Feast of Sacrifice, marking the end of the Hajj pilgrimage and commemorating Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son. Alongside Eid al-Fitr it is one of the two principal Islamic holidays, and is observed with several days off in most Muslim-majority countries.
Eid al-Adha Holiday
The days following Eid al-Adha.
The additional days off attached to Eid al-Adha, which is commonly a three- or four-day break.
Muharram
1 Muharram — the Islamic new year.
The first day of the Islamic year. A public holiday in most Muslim-majority countries, though a quiet one — it is a day of remembrance rather than celebration.
Armed Forces Day
Varies by country.
Honours a country's armed forces, usually on the anniversary of their founding.
