Arabic version: لبنان يعلن عن إغلاق القطاع العام بمناسبة عطلة عيد الأضحى

Lebanon’s government has officially declared a public sector closure in observance of the Eid al-Adha holidays. This decision affects all public institutions and will take effect during the festive period.

According to LBC, the holiday closure is intended to allow employees to celebrate Eid al-Adha with their families and communities.

The specific dates for the closure have not been detailed, but it is customary for the public sector to observe a break during significant religious holidays in Lebanon. This holiday is one of the most important in the Islamic calendar, marking the end of the Hajj pilgrimage and commemorating the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God.

The announcement of the closure reflects the Lebanese government’s recognition of the cultural significance of Eid al-Adha and its impact on the public sector workforce.
