Iraq · 2026

Iraq records 7 holidays in 2026. 7 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Nowruz (21 Mar 2026) and National Day (3 Oct 2026) fall on a weekend in 2026, so they hand back no extra day off. New Year's Day (1 Jan 2026), Army Day (6 Jan 2026) and Victory Day (10 Dec 2026) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Mondays and Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Jan, with 2 of them. The longest run without one is 155 days, between 1 May 2026 and 3 Oct 2026. The next is Victory Day on 10 Dec 2026.
