Pakistanis may soon enjoy a rare three-day holiday stretch in September, offering a chance for relaxation, travel and time with family.
Reports suggest that the Islamic month of Rabi-ul-Awwal is expected to begin in late August, with the 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal likely to fall on Friday, September 5. This date will be observed nationwide as Eid Milad-un-Nabi, marking it as a public holiday.
The following day, Saturday, September 6, will be commemorated as Defence Day of Pakistan. On this occasion, the nation pays tribute to its armed forces and martyrs through various remembrance events and patriotic gatherings.
Adding to the long weekend, Sunday, September 7, will naturally extend the holidays, creating three consecutive days off for citizens.
Such extended breaks have become a highlight for people in 2025, and the upcoming September holidays are expected to provide another welcome opportunity for celebrations, family outings, and cultural events across the country.
