Printable Bahrain calendar 2027 with public holidays

A 2027 calendar for Bahrain with the official holidays, Ashura, compensation days for holidays on a weekend, expected Eid dates, Hijri dates and a Friday and Saturday weekend. The PDF is made in your browser, and your entries are not saved or sent.

January for a calendar year; any other month gives 12 months from that month, for example a September to August school or club year.

Layout

Letter is the usual size in the US and Canada; A4 is used almost everywhere else.

Orientation
Week starts on
Color theme: Teal

Large print has bigger numbers and thicker lines. Ink saver prints outlines only, with no shaded boxes.

Hijri dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar; local moon sighting can differ by a day. Ramadan and the Eids are marked as expected.

ISO 8601: weeks run Monday to Sunday and week 1 is the week with the year's first Thursday, so 1 to 3 January can be in week 52 or 53. US style: weeks run Sunday to Saturday and week 1 is the week with January 1.

More options

On pages with one month per page.

The working week of the holidays chosen (Monday to Friday unless the country has another weekend), minus the public holidays shown.

Worked out with Jean Meeus's astronomical formulas and checked against the US Naval Observatory. Dated in UTC, so in your time zone a date can be a day earlier or later.

Holiday names stay in English, their official names.

Saka dates follow the Indian National Calendar (in use since 22 March 1957): 1 Chaitra falls on 22 March, or 21 March in a leap year. Hijri or Saka, one at a time.

Your own events, picture and font

An event on 29 February that repeats every year is shown on 28 February in years that are not leap years.

No events yet. Events are printed in their day boxes.

    What is read: each event's title and date, all-day and timed events, events over several days (up to 31 days), and events that repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, with their skipped and moved dates. Repeating events are added for last year to three years ahead. Not read: times, places, notes, reminders, and rare repeat rules (such as "the last weekday of the month"); for those only the first date is added and the list below says so.

    Photo or logo

    Read on this device and never uploaded or remembered. Large photos are made smaller so the PDF stays small, and hidden camera details (such as location) are left out.

    Where
    Fit

    The picture area is on pages with one month per page; a logo goes in the header of every page. Photos use more ink.

    All three are free fonts (SIL Open Font License) and print the same as the preview.

    Off unless you tick it. When ticked, your events and options are kept in this browser on this device only, never sent. Pictures are not kept. Untick it or select Clear to remove them.

    1. Choose a layout. The whole year on one page, two pages, 4 or 3 months per page, or 12 monthly pages in landscape with large boxes to write in.
    2. Check the details. The calendar opens on A4 with the week starting on Sunday, Friday and Saturday shaded as the weekend, the Bahrain public holidays shaded and listed under each month, and Hijri dates in each day's box. You can switch to Monday or Sunday, turn the Hijri dates off, pick another paper size (A3, A5, US Letter and more), one of seven color themes, black and white, large print or ink saver, and add a title.
    3. Select Download PDF. The PDF is made in your browser in a second or two. Nothing is uploaded, and your entries are not saved or sent.

    The preview is drawn by the same layout as the PDF, so what you see is what prints. Print at Actual size (100%) so the margins stay true.

    Bahrain public holidays 2027

    Bahrain's official holidays are set by Decree No. 40 of 2002: New Year's Day, Labour Day (1 May), Eid al-Fitr (3 days), Eid al-Adha (3 days), the Hijri New Year, Ashura (9 and 10 Muharram), the Prophet's Birthday and National Day (16 and 17 December). Arafat Day is added every year by the Prime Minister's circular and is listed on the national portal. Moon-based holidays are expected dates from the Umm al-Qura calendar.

    Sunday 3 JanuaryNew Year's Day (compensation day)
    Tuesday 9 March to Thursday 11 MarchEid al-Fitr (expected), 3 days

    Sunday 19 DecemberNational Day (compensation day)

    Still to come in 2026: National Day: Wednesday 16 December to Thursday 17 December 2026.

    Compensation days for holidays on a weekend

    For ministries and government bodies, a holiday that falls on a Friday or a Saturday is made up with an extra day. Prime Minister's Decision No. 45 of 2006, Article 2, says such a holiday is compensated by extending the holiday by another day. The calendar adds those days after the holiday, on the next working day:

    • New Year's Day (compensation day) on Sunday 3 January 2027
    • Labour Day (compensation day) on Sunday 2 May 2027
    • Eid al-Adha (compensation day, expected) on Wednesday 19 May 2027
    • Prophet's Birthday (compensation day, expected) on Sunday 15 August 2027
    • National Day (compensation day) on Sunday 19 December 2027

    This is how the 2026 circulars worked: Labour Day fell on Friday 1 May and was "compensated with a day off on Sunday, 3 May 2026", and Eid al-Adha's Friday gave an extra day off on Sunday 31 May. In the private sector, Decision No. 1 of 2013 gives another day only when a holiday falls on a Friday, so private employers may give fewer compensation days.

    Weekend and working week in Bahrain

    Since September 2006 the weekend has been Friday and Saturday (Decision No. 45 of 2006, Article 1), with government offices open Sunday to Thursday. The calendar shades Friday and Saturday and starts each week on Sunday; you can switch it to Monday.

    Why some dates say "expected"

    Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and the other Islamic holidays follow the Hijri (lunar) calendar, so they move about 11 days earlier each year. The calendar works out their 2027 dates from the Umm al-Qura calendar and marks them (expected). In Bahrain the Crown Prince and Prime Minister issues a circular before each holiday that names the days government offices close, including any compensation days.

    Hijri dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar; local moon sighting can differ by a day. The same note is printed at the foot of the PDF. Dates fixed by law, such as New Year's Day, Labour Day and National Day on 16 and 17 December, are not marked expected.

    Questions and answers

    How many public holidays does Bahrain have in 2027?

    20 days off for government offices: the holidays in Decree No. 40 of 2002, Arafat Day, and 5 compensation days for holidays that fall on a Friday or Saturday.

    When is Eid al-Fitr 2027 in Bahrain?

    Expected on Tuesday 9 March 2027, with the holiday expected from Tuesday 9 March to Thursday 11 March 2027. The circular confirms the days after the moon is sighted.

    When is Eid al-Adha 2027 in Bahrain?

    Arafat Day is expected on Saturday 15 May 2027 and Eid al-Adha from Sunday 16 May to Tuesday 18 May 2027. Arafat Day is a Saturday, so a compensation day is expected after Eid.

    When is Ashura 2027 in Bahrain?

    Ashura is 9 and 10 Muharram: expected Monday 14 June to Tuesday 15 June 2027.

    What days is Bahrain National Day 2027?

    16 and 17 December: Thursday 16 December to Friday 17 December 2027. The 17th is a Friday, so a compensation day follows for government offices.

    Does the calendar show Hijri dates?

    Yes. Hijri dates from the Umm al-Qura calendar are on by default, in small figures in each day's box. Untick Hijri dates to hide them.

    Is my calendar saved or uploaded anywhere?

    No. The calendar and the PDF are made in your browser on your own device. Your options and title are not saved or sent.
