How we built this
We walk the Bahrain public-holiday calendar against the Friday–Saturday weekend and find every run of 3+ consecutive non-working days. Bridge opportunities flag where one working day sits between two non-working stretches, so taking a single leave day unlocks a 4+ day break. The full holiday calendar lives at /holidays/bahrain/2026.
