What makes the Egypt calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Egypt signature lives in the other dates: عيد الثورة 25 يناير (Revolution Day 2011 / National Police Day, 25 janvier), found in no other country in the dataset; عيد تحرير سيناء (Sinai Liberation Day, 25 avril), found in no other country in the dataset; ثورة 30 يونيو (June 30 Revolution, 2 juillet), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from عيد الثورة 25 يناير (25 janvier) to عيد تحرير سيناء (25 avril): 90 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 7 nationwide holidays and عيد الثورة 25 يناير will fall on a lundi (25 janvier).
