These dates were announced in two cabinet decrees.
Although the 30 June Revolution anniversary officially falls on a Monday this year, the government has moved most weekday public holidays to Thursdays since 2020 to allow for longer weekends.
According to a cabinet statement on Thursday, the holidays will apply to employees in ministries, government agencies, public authorities, local administration units, public sector companies, and public business sector companies.
The statement affirmed that school and university exams will proceed as scheduled on their original dates, unaffected by these newly declared holidays.
The Islamic New Year (1 Muharram 1447 AH) is astronomically predicted to begin on Thursday, 26 June.
However, a crucial sighting of the crescent moon will occur on Wednesday night.
The 30 June holiday commemorates the day millions of Egyptians demonstrated in 2013 to demand the resignation of then-President Mohamed Morsi.
