💡 Insights

The standard work week in Syria runs from Sunday through Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend. Several holidays in 2026 fall on Fridays, creating natural three-day weekends. Islamic holidays are based on moon sightings, leading to tentative dates that require flexible planning.
