This is the list of dates in 2012 to the best of my knowledge gleaned from the internet.
Sometimes there are mistakes, if you spot one let me know!
I also suspect that there may be one or two additional days yet to be agreed upon.
Please note I do not accept any responsibility for errors. Information can sometimes be hard to find in Egypt and sometimes decisions are made late eg the decision to abandon daylight savings time in 2011.

Thank you for posting public holidays in Egypt.
I would just like to note that Coptic Christmas is on the 7th of Jan, not the 9th.
Great web site.
