About this calendar
In 2026, Kuwait observes 11 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with Islamic New Year 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.
Kuwait follows the Gulf pattern: work from Sunday to Thursday, rest on Friday and Saturday. Public sector hours are shorter than private sector hours, and both shrink during Ramadan.
