I don't think they take holiday for the British and Italian evacuation days. There's also an American Evacuation day (not listed above - or maybe that's June 11?). Last year nobody seemed to know anything about it.

9 Jul Ascension of the Prophet, I don't recall that ever being given as a day off in the Muslim world but I could be wrong.

7 Dec Islamic New year, also not given as a day off.

u r right about the 9th of Jul and the 7th of Dec, the 11th of June was mentioned but just did not mention or write the 'American'.

Most probably the only holidays would be the 26 Feb / 1 Sep and the 2 Eids (2-3 days for each).
