The spring break falls at the end of March in most schools, about two weeks between the second and third terms, and it is the last scheduled pause before the summer. Where Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr land inside March 2026, the break is commonly aligned with them, so the same fortnight moves by a week or more from one year to the next.
March closes the first quarter of 2026 on the 31st, the first reporting boundary of the year for companies filing on the Gregorian calendar. It also closes the last quarter in which outdoor work runs on ordinary hours: from April onwards construction and outdoor labour begin shifting towards the early morning, ahead of the midday break rule that starts in June.
March 2026 runs to 31 days and closes the first quarter of a year of 365. Nine months remain, five of them summer, and the next public holiday fixed to a date rather than to the moon is not until 2 December, at the far end of the calendar.
