Planning around Syria holidays in 2026

  • Several holidays, including Eid al-Fitr and Orthodox Easter, may fall on the same date.
  • The start and end dates for Islamic holidays can vary based on lunar sightings.
  • Some holidays are observed nationwide, while others may have specific regional significance.
  • Check the specific year for any newly established or revised national observances.

Holiday patterns in 2026

The first quarter of 2026 shows a notable concentration of holidays, particularly in March, which features four observances including Revolution Day and Eid al-Fitr. April also has a cluster of holidays, including Easter-related celebrations and Independence Day.

The middle of the year, from July to September, experiences a quieter period with fewer holidays, with only one observance each in August and September. This contrasts with the busy start to the year and the end-of-year holiday period.

The year concludes with a significant number of holidays in December, including Liberation Day and Christmas Day, alongside the December Solstice, creating a festive end to the calendar year.
