Public offices, banks and schools throughout Khartoum close on the same fixed-date statutory holidays observed nationwide, since public holidays in Sudan are a matter of national labor law rather than state-by-state decree.

As Khartoum's own capital, Khartoum observes the identical statutory calendar — there's no separate capital-city holiday list distinct from the rest of Khartoum.
