The Kuwaiti Cabinet has officially decided to suspend work across all ministries, government agencies, public authorities, and state institutions.

This official holiday approved by the Cabinet comes on the holy occasion of Arafat Day and the blessed Eid Al-Adha for the Islamic year 1447 AH.

The Cabinet designated the beginning of the official public sector holiday starting from Tuesday, May 26, 2026.

The issued official decree clarified that the scheduled holiday duration will continue until Sunday, May 31, 2026.

Through this early circular, the Kuwaiti government aims to allow public sector employees to arrange their schedules ahead of the blessed Eid celebrations.

The comprehensive suspension decision covers all public entities and independent institutions alongside standard service and sovereign ministries.

The General Secretariat of the Cabinet noted that official departments will resume regular operating hours immediately following the end of the holiday.

The regulatory decree excluded certain sectors with specific operational requirements that demand continuous staffing for emergency and public services.

Concerned government bodies will arrange internal shift schedules during the Eid days to ensure essential public services do not stop.

The Kuwaiti Cabinet extended its highest congratulations and blessings to the political leadership, citizens, and residents on this great religious occasion.

This organized administrative announcement reflects the state's commitment to unifying official holiday dates across all subordinate corporate structures.

The government wished all state employees a happy and safe vacation, confirming the readiness of vital facilities to serve the community during Eid.
