The Bahrain holiday calendar at a glance

Bahrain observes 4 nationwide public holidays each year. Every holiday applies nationwide, so there are no regional days to track. All of them keep the same calendar date every year, which makes planning ahead simple. In 2026, يوم العمال lands on a Monday or Friday, giving a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
