Public Holidays in Syria — 2027
Syria keeps a short official calendar in 2027: 10 public holidays in total, so each one carries real weight for planning.
7 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 3 genuine days off work.
The calendar clusters: March alone holds 4 of them, while 7 month(s) have none at all.
The longest dry spell runs 220 days, from Sunday, May 2, 2027 to Wednesday, December 8, 2027; 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.
Syria sits in Western Asia, is run from Damascus, pays in Syrian Pound, and has about 17.5M people planning around these same dates.
