- Calculator id: `egypt-public-working-days-between` · Category: Everyday Life (`everyday`) · Tool name: `count_eg_working_days`
- Canonical page: https://tttkmbb.com/everyday/egypt-public-working-days-between · This document: https://tttkmbb.com/everyday/egypt-public-working-days-between.md · JSON definition: https://tttkmbb.com/everyday/egypt-public-working-days-between.json

## Purpose

Counts authority-scope working and non-working dates in a range.

**Use when:** You need an auditable Egypt working-day count.

**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

- Count Egypt working days around Eid al-Fitr public holiday.
- Count Egypt working days around 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. Normalize endpoints and count exact authority events over the declared weekday baseline. 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.
