Questions and answers

Which holidays are included?

Founding Day (22 February), National Day (23 September), and four days each for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, as set for the private sector by the Labor Law.

How are Eid dates worked out?

From the Umm al-Qura calendar: Eid al-Fitr starts the day after 29 Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha starts on the Day of Arafah. Official announcements can move them by a day.

Are both dates counted?

Yes. The first and last dates are both included in the count.

Does it work for government jobs?

Government Eid holidays are longer. Untick the holidays that don't apply and count the extra days yourself, or turn holidays off.
