Public Holidays in Sudan — 2025
Sudan keeps a short official calendar in 2025: 4 public holidays in total, so each one carries real weight for planning.
1 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 3 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 3 before July and 1 after it — with January the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 249 days, from Sunday, April 20, 2025 to Thursday, December 25, 2025; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
No holiday touches the weekend directly this year, so long breaks have to be built from annual leave.
Sudan sits in Northern Africa, is run from Khartoum, pays in Sudanese Pound, and has about 43.8M people planning around these same dates.
