What is the Pakistan Public Holidays?
Pakistan's federal government announces the list of gazetted public holidays each year. This page lists them with the date, weekday and days left, so you can plan leave and travel.
Fixed national days are exact. Islamic holidays (Eid ul Fitr, Eid ul Adha, Ashura, 12 Rabi ul Awal) depend on moon sighting and are estimates. See any holiday's countdown, such as Days Until Eid ul Adha or Days Until 14 August, or view the whole Year Calendar.
