The date of the Prophet’s Birthday holiday in Egypt for 2024 is eagerly anticipated, with the Egyptian Grand Mufti expected to announce the official date after the sighting of the crescent moon for the first month of Rabi’ al-Awwal 1446. The Egyptian National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics has projected that the crescent moon will be visible on September 3rd, leading to the 12th day of Rabi’ al-Awwal, the Prophet’s Birthday, falling on September 16th. Some speculate that the holiday could be moved to Thursday, September 19th, to provide a longer weekend for employees.
