there are other holidays of one day along the year .

we celebrate a long vaccation by going to a far place , the seaside , the countryside , take a trip abroad , etc according to the weather and the income of the family .
a one day holiday is usually spent in the club or at home with the family .
Egyptians LOVE going out .that’s why the roads and streets are always busy , 24 hrs a day .you can think we hardly sleep !
we love life , and celebrate it , each in his own way.

Most people in Egypt (Modern) are Muslim (Sunni) and celebrate the Muslim calendar of "holidays" they would include; Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha, there is also Laylat al-Qadr, Laylat ul Isra or Lailat al Miraj, Laylat ul Bara’ah and Mawlid.
If you mean Ancient Egypt then I cannot really help other than advise you to research carefully using Wiki etc.
