Kuwait can look forward to a four-day break for the New Year.

The country’s cabinet declared Sunday, December 31, 2023, and Monday, January 1, 2024, as public holidays, at a weekly meeting held on November 20. With the country enjoying its weekend on Thursday and Friday, residents will get an additional two days off.

The state-run news agency KUNA stated government bodies with a “special work nature” will have their holidays determined by their own internal management, taking into consideration the “public interest”.
