About this calendar
In 2026, Qatar observes 14 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with Qatar National Day 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.
Qatar's working week runs Sunday to Thursday. Friday and Saturday form the weekend, and Friday is protected as the weekly rest day for most workers. During Ramadan, statutory working hours drop for the whole month.
