About Public Holidays in الكويت
Kuwait's holidays are anchored by Islamic faith and national pride. The two Eids and the Islamic New Year follow the lunar calendar, while the National Day on February 25 and Liberation Day on February 26 — the 1961 independence and the 1991 end of the Iraqi occupation — create a two-day celebration with fireworks and heritage festivals. New Year's Day, Labour Day and the Prophet's birthday complete the calendar. The country's small size and wealthy economy make its holidays notably family- and community-centred.
In 2026, Kuwait observes 13 public holidays including 13 national, of which 2 fall on a weekend.
