                          About Public Holidays in Egypt

                          Egypt's Revolution Day is marked twice - January 25 for the 2011 uprising and July 23 for the 1952 revolution that ended the monarchy - reflecting two distinct 20th/21st-century turning points on the same calendar. Sinai Liberation Day (April 25) marks the 1982 return of the peninsula from Israeli control, and Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha typically bring multi-day closures nationwide.
