Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced that Thursday, March 19, to Monday, March 23, 2026, will be an official paid holiday for employees in ministries, government departments, public authorities, local government units, as well as public sector and public business sector companies, for the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
The official holiday dates for banks in Egypt are meanwhile determined by a decision from the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), and the bank holiday usually coincides with the announced holiday for the government sector.
Banks are expected to be closed throughout the Eid al-Fitr holiday and will resume operations immediately after the holiday ends.
ATMs and electronic banking services will remain operational throughout the holiday to meet customer needs.
According to the CBE, banks operate for four hours daily during Ramadan, receiving customers from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM, while bank employees will work from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
