Public Holidays in Yemen — 2025
Yemen keeps a short official calendar in 2025: 5 public holidays in total, so each one carries real weight for planning.
1 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 4 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 2 before July and 3 after it — with February the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 148 days, from Thursday, May 1, 2025 to Friday, September 26, 2025; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
1 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 2 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Yemen sits in Western Asia, is run from Sana'a, pays in Yemeni Rial, and has about 29.8M people planning around these same dates.
