Syria 2028 tentative holiday calendar

Provisional · Scope: public · Checked 2026-10-03

Secondary projection only. Islamic and Easter dates remain provisional pending the bulletin required by Article 3 of Decree 188.

President of the Syrian Arab Republic

Decree No. 188 of 2025 defining official holidays

Reviewed · Scope: current_framework · Checked 2026-10-03

Current framework. It repeals Decree 474 of 2004 and contrary provisions; unspecified movable dates require a Presidency bulletin.

Office arrangements

2026 is confirmed from a dated official notice. Future Gregorian dates remain provisional until the Presidency issues the required bulletin or national lunar determination.

Bank arrangements

No separate nationwide bank-closure calendar is inferred; institutions may publish operational arrangements.

School arrangements

No separate school-calendar closure is inferred beyond the official public-institution notice.

History

Decree 188 of 2025 is the controlling framework; Decree 13 of 2026 separately added Nowruz. Former holidays are not carried forward unless the current framework supports them.

Why it matters

The calendar distinguishes fixed national holidays, religious movable holidays and one-off public-sector closures.

Observance

Observance does not create an additional day off beyond the supported occurrence.

Travel and planning

Reconfirm future dates against the latest Syrian Presidency bulletin before travel or appointments.
