Sinai Liberation Day Description
Commemorates the final withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Sinai Peninsula on April 25, 1982, completing Egypt's recovery of the territory following the 1979 Camp David Peace Accords. Official ceremonies and military parades are held throughout the day, particularly in Sinai cities like Sharm El-Sheikh and El-Arish. The President typically lays wreaths at war memorials in Cairo. Government offices, banks, and most businesses close. The holiday is a symbol of Egyptian national pride and the successful conclusion of diplomatic efforts to regain occupied land.
