Other dates worth booking
Pakistan's Independence Day (August 14, from Britain in 1947) falls the day before India's own, a direct result of the two countries' shared partition that year. Defence Day (September 6) commemorates a specific 1965 war with India, and Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha typically bring the year's longest nationwide closures.

3 public holidays fall on a weekend in Pakistan in 2027: Labour Day (Saturday, May 1), Independence Day (Saturday, August 14), Quaid-e-Azam Day (Saturday, December 25). Pakistan grants no substitute day for these, so these are lost.
No — Pakistan does not grant a substitute working day when a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday.
4 consecutive days off in Pakistan in 2027, March 6–March 9, by booking 1 day of leave.
The next public holiday in Pakistan is یومِ اقبال (Iqbal Day) on November 9, 2026.
Ashura, Birthday of Muhammad (Mawlid), End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr), Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) do not fall on the same date every year in Pakistan, since they are set by a lunar or other variable calendar rather than a fixed date.
