August 2027 has two national holidays two days apart. The Prophet Muhammad's Birthday falls on Sunday, 15 August 2027, and the 82nd Independence Day on Tuesday, 17 August 2027. The Mawlid falls on a Sunday and adds no day off. Independence Day falls on a Tuesday, so Monday 16 August is a working day caught in between. Leave on that day gives four days off from Saturday 14 to Tuesday 17 August, enough to attend the flag ceremony back home. There is no collective leave in August 2027, and the month has 21 working days. This is the last national holiday before Christmas: September, October and November 2027 have no holidays. If you have saved leave, the end of August is a good time to plan the rest of the year.

The Independence Day bridge
Independence Day on a Tuesday gives a classic bridge. For a longer break, leave from Wednesday 18 to Friday 20 August joins 17 August to the following weekend; with Monday 16, four leave days give nine days off from 14 to 22 August.
