Islamic New Year (observed, estimated) in 🇪🇬 Egypt

Egypt observes the Islamic New Year (estimated date for years when the lunar calendar shifts) with mosque prayers and religious reflection; the day is marked more solemnly than festively in Egypt's Muslim tradition.

Official substitute holiday when the estimated Islamic New Year (1 Muharram) falls on a non-working day, granting workers a compensatory day to observe the start of the Islamic calendar year.
