Kuwait has declared Thursday, August 27, a public holiday for Eid Milad un Nabi, according to a Cabinet announcement on Tuesday.
The holiday will apply to all ministries, government departments, public authorities and state institutions. Government offices will resume work on Sunday, August 30.
The decision was made during a Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al Ahmad Al Sabah.
Government employees will get Thursday off, followed by the regular Friday-Saturday weekend, giving many public-sector workers a three-day break.
The Cabinet said government bodies that require special working arrangements will decide their own holiday schedules through the relevant authorities, keeping the public interest in mind.
Mawlid Al Nabawi, the Prophet’s birthday, is observed on the 12th day of Rabi Al Awwal in the Islamic calendar.
