Qatar observes several public holidays. The two weekend days are Friday and Saturday. Annual public holidays include:
- Qatar National Day (1 Day) on December 18.[1][2]
- Eid ul-Fitr (4 Days) occurs on the first day of the month of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar.[1][2] This produces a variable date in the Gregorian calendar.
- Eid ul-Adha (4 Days) is on the 10th day of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah;[1][2] it also varies in the Gregorian system.
- National Sports Day to fall on the second Tuesday of February (from 2012 AD)[3]
- Independence day on September 3.[4]
Several holidays are celebrated by the government or banks as well.[1]
