Law No. 2 of 2000 on Official Leaves and Holidays

Reviewed · Scope: legal_basis · Checked 2026-10-02

Defines the national public holidays, their Hijri or fixed dates, the Friday/holiday substitution rule, and expressly classifies Mawlid, Isra and Miraj, and 7 July as observances without official leave.

Office arrangements

Listed occurrences are national public holidays. Substitute dates appear only when a dated official notice supports them.

Bank arrangements

No separate nationwide bank-closure claim is made; confirm time-sensitive services with the institution.

School arrangements

No separate school-calendar claim is made; consult the responsible education authority.

History

International Workers' Day is fixed by Yemeni law on 1 May.

Why it matters

The calendar records nationwide legal leave, not every public commemoration or local closure.

Observance

Customs vary by holiday. Celebration does not create an additional closure day.

Travel and planning

Hours and transport can change around Eid periods and national commemorations. Check current official notices.
