Government & Public Sector: Longer Break This Year
For employees in ministries, government entities, and public institutions, the holiday runs from Tuesday, May 26 through Saturday, May 30, 2026, with work resuming on Sunday, May 31, 2026. That is a five-day break — longer than the private sector's entitlement — which aligns with the standard practice of the Amiri Diwan providing extended leave for public holidays.
This also accounts for the fact that Eid Al-Adha falls on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, meaning the holiday window encompasses the day before Eid (known as the Day of Arafat), Eid day itself, and the following days of celebration.
