Qatar has 8 nationwide public holidays in 2026. After them, 2026 has 257 working days. Next up: Qatar National Day on Friday, December 18, 2026, in 80 days.
Dates marked Estimated depend on the moon or an official announcement and can shift by a day or two.
In Qatar the weekend is Friday and Saturday, so working days and long weekends are counted that way.
Dates come from the open-source holidays project, which compiles each country's statutory holidays from official sources. Governments sometimes add or move days at short notice, so check official announcements for critical plans. See our sources.
