Planning business schedules or travel in Latakia, Syria? Here is the complete public holiday reference for Latakia, detailing official statutory observances and bank non-working days.
Businesses, regional banks, and administrative offices across Latakia observe statutory public holidays in accordance with national labor regulations and official government decrees. In Latakia, statutory fixed-date public holidays (including Evacuation Day (Eid al-Jala') on April 17) mandate official non-working status for banks and government departments.
This is Syria's national public holiday calendar — the same live calendar shown on Syria's country-level holiday page — embedded here because public holidays are set nationally and apply uniformly across Latakia and the rest of Syria, not a separate Latakia-specific calendar.

These are Syria's official statutory fixed-date public holidays — the same national list shown on Syria's country holiday page — mandated by national labor law and applicable across every state and city in Syria, including Latakia. These non-working days apply to government administrative offices, commercial banking institutions, and schools statewide.
Statutory holidays landing on a Monday, Friday, Tuesday or Thursday create a long-weekend opportunity — here's what's coming up.
| Holiday | Date | Opportunity |
|---|---|---|
| Liberation Day | Tue, Dec 8, 2026 | Take the Monday before off for a 4-day weekend |
Public offices, banks and schools throughout Latakia close on the same fixed-date statutory holidays observed nationwide, since public holidays in Syria are a matter of national labor law rather than state-by-state decree.
When a fixed statutory public holiday falls on a weekend in Latakia, government gazette decrees often designate the adjacent Monday as an official substitute non-working day.
As Latakia's own capital, Latakia observes the identical statutory calendar — there's no separate capital-city holiday list distinct from the rest of Latakia.
