## Purpose

Checks a date against the Friday-Saturday weekend baseline and exact 2026-2026 authority events.

**Use when:** You need a deterministic Egypt Egypt 2026 official public-holiday layer for ministries, government bodies, public authorities, local administration and public-sector/public-business companies result.

**Do not use when:** This package covers the official nationwide public-holiday layer published for Egyptian government/public-sector scope. Private employers, banks, schools, diplomatic missions, exchanges, local or sector calendars may differ and are not inferred. Friday-Saturday is the ordinary weekend baseline; special remote-work or operating-hour decisions are not treated as holidays. Islamic dates and later Prime Minister decisions require a refreshed package.

## Example user requests

- Egypt: Eid al-Fitr public holiday.
- Egypt: Ordinary Egypt working day.

## Limitations

This package covers the official nationwide public-holiday layer published for Egyptian government/public-sector scope. Private employers, banks, schools, diplomatic missions, exchanges, local or sector calendars may differ and are not inferred. Friday-Saturday is the ordinary weekend baseline; special remote-work or operating-hour decisions are not treated as holidays. Islamic dates and later Prime Minister decisions require a refreshed package. Apply the pinned authority event table over the declared weekday baseline; do not infer uncovered employer or regional schedules. All values are computed from the formula above; no measurement or live data is involved.

## FAQ

**Does this cover every Egyptian employer and bank?**

No. It is the official nationwide government/public-sector holiday layer. Private-employer, bank, school, exchange, diplomatic and sector calendars require their own authority.

**Why is Labour Day on 7 May?**

The Presidency's 2026 official table publishes 7 May as the holiday date; the package uses the published date rather than inferring 1 May or another substitute.

**Are all Islamic dates stable for future years?**

No. This package pins the 2026 published decisions only; future lunar dates and later Prime Minister decisions require refreshed evidence.
