Not bad amount of holidays don't you think........ even the Muslim ones they have like Eids and Ramadan Seems that Egypts Copts have more public holidays by Muslim law than Americans have under their secular government New Years Day 1st January Christmas January 7th Epiphany January 19th Palm Sunday (?? changes each year the date) Holy Thursday follows the Palm Sunday The Coptic Easter which is the week after Western Sects Easter Good Friday Holy Saturday Easter Sunday Sham el Naseem Pharaonic festival ( both Muslim and Christian) Ramadan ( changes each year and lasts one month) Eid Al Fitr 3 days Eid al Adha 4 days Prophet Mohammed birthday 12 rabi el Awwal Islamic New Year 1st Muharram plus January 25th this was National Police Day but now changed to New Egypt Revolution Day April 25th Sinai Liberation day May 1st Labour Day 23rd July day Old Revolution day 6th October Armed Forces day

April 25th Sinai Liberation day If Egypt liberated Sinai why was it necessary to negotiate an Israeli withdrawal from Sinai as part of the Camp David Accords?
Pls remove your blinkers , - -territories are LIBERATED , set free from foreign military occupation , NEGOTIATIONS are about terms and conditions .
Egypt hasn't won a war since before the era of Alexander the Great. Egypt did not liberate Sinai from Israel. Israel counterattacked and defeated the Egyptians south of Cairo in 1973. The Egyptians were saved by American interference.
Days when government offices and schools and universities are closed. Easter week every year lasts from Thursday afternoon to the Tuesday Morning. You know that you live in Egypt. No school, no Mogamma, Government offices, no Universities etc I have no idea what Epiphany is but this is what Wiki says
