Public Holidays in Sudan — 2026
Sudan keeps a short official calendar in 2026: 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 257 days, from Sunday, April 12, 2026 to Friday, December 25, 2026; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
1 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 1 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Sudan sits in Northern Africa, is run from Khartoum, pays in Sudanese Pound, and has about 43.8M people planning around these same dates.
