2 official holidays for private sector marking Islamic New Year, June 30 Revolution
CAIRO - 24 June 2025: As part of the state's commitment to standardizing official holiday dates for all workers in various sectors whenever possible, and to achieve the social and national objectives of allocating holidays for national and religious occasions, the Ministry of Labor announced two paid official holidays for private sector workers over the next two weeks, marking the Islamic New Year and the 12th anniversary of the June 30 Revolution.
1- First holiday: Thursday, June 26, 2025, will be an official paid holiday for private sector workers, marking the Islamic New Year 1447, corresponding to the first day of Muharram, according to the Sharia ruling announced by the relevant authorities.
2- Second holiday: Thursday, July 3, 2025, will be an official paid holiday, instead of Monday, June 30, to mark the anniversary of the June 30 Revolution, a milestone in Egypt's modern history.
This falls within the framework of the state's general policy, adopted years ago, regarding the postponement of official holidays to the weekend. This ensures regular work within institutions, on the one hand, and enables workers to make optimal use of consecutive rest periods, on the other.
This leave is granted to employees subject to the provisions of Labor Law No. 12 of 2003. Employers may employ workers on these two days if the nature of the work so requires, provided that the worker is paid double pay (twice their wage) for each day, in addition to their basic wage. This is in accordance with the provisions of the law regulating work on official holidays.
The Ministry of Labor issued two circulars, Nos. 11 and 12 of 2025, containing clear directives regarding the regulation of the two holidays. It also requested heads of central departments and directors of governorate directorates to disseminate the contents of the decision at workplaces and production sites and to take the necessary measures to ensure that establishments comply with it.

Egypt set to become regional industrial hub across ME, Africa
10TH OF RAMADAN CITY, Egypt, June 28 (MENA) – Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly stressed on Saturday that Egypt is on track to becoming a true regional hub for industry in various sectors across the Middle East and Africa, thanks to its success in attracting leading global manufacturers. In a press conference following the inauguration of the Bosch home appliances factory in 10th of Ramadan City, Madbouly extended his greetings to President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and the Egyptian people on the upcoming anniversary of the June 30 Revolution, describing it as a cherished milestone that set Egypt back on the right course. The prime minister noted that the newly inaugurated Bosch facility represents the third major plant in Egypt's home appliances sector, following earlier inaugurations of the Chinese company Haier and Turkey's Beko. He underlined that these achievements were the result of the Egyptian state's proactive approach, personally reaching out to top executives and convincing them of Egypt's strong appeal as an investment destination. Madbouly explained that the government succeeded in granting these companies direct land allocation and the golden license, while removing all obstacles to expedite the establishment of their factories. 'As a result, Egypt is not only becoming a center for local manufacturing, but also a strategic industrial hub serving the broader Middle East and Africa.' He highlighted that the inauguration of these plants comes amid intensive efforts by the government and daily follow-up by President Sisi, who is deeply committed to advancing Egypt's industrial renaissance. Madbouly added that the Bosch plant was constructed under the highest international standards and currently employs around 1,000 Egyptians who have been trained to deliver products matching the quality of the company's factories worldwide. He pointed out that half of the plant's annual output of 350,000 cookers is earmarked for export, while local components now account for nearly 50 percent of the product, expected to rise to 70 percent within two years.
