Egypt Ranks Among Countries with the Most Public Holidays in 2025
Egypt’s in Its Chilling Era 🏖️
Turns out, Egypt isn’t just breaking records on the field or in history books — it’s also breaking them on the calendar.
According to the World Population Review, Egypt has officially secured a spot among the top 10 countries with the most public holidays in 2025, clocking in with a generous 22 days off. That’s right — Egypt is tied with Bangladesh for fifth place!
Religious + National = A Lot of Rest
The tally includes both religious celebrations like Eid and Christmas, as well as national holidays like Revolution Day and Sinai Liberation Day.
And no, this doesn’t even count personal or optional leave — this is just the official, country-wide breaks that we all collectively enjoy (or plan our vacations around).
Who’s Beating Egypt?
If you’re wondering who’s managing to chill more than we do, here’s the top of the list:
🥇 Nepal – 35 holidays
🥈 Myanmar – 32 holidays
🥉 Iran – 26 holidays
🏅 Sri Lanka – 25 holidays
🎉 Egypt & Bangladesh – 22 holidays
(India and Cambodia are just one day behind.)
The Takeaway?
Egypt is living up to its reputation of balancing hustle with some solid downtime. Whether it’s long weekends, mid-week breaks, or back-to-back Eids, the calendar’s looking pretty friendly. So the next time you find yourself planning yet another extended weekend, just know — the stats are on your side.
