About this calendar
In 2026, Bahrain observes 16 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with National Day Holiday on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
Bahrain works Sunday through Thursday with a Friday-Saturday weekend. When public holidays land on a Friday or Saturday, the government usually grants the next working day off in compensation, which is why compensatory days appear in Bahraini holiday circulars.
