Nyoum October 6 is an Egyptian holiday celebrated on October 6 every year. The holiday commemorates the start of the October War of 1973, when Egypt launched a surprise attack on Israeli forces occupying the Sinai Peninsula. The war was a pivotal moment in modern Egyptian history, as it marked the first time since the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 that Egypt had successfully challenged Israeli military might.

The holiday is celebrated throughout Egypt with parades and special events. In Cairo, the holiday is marked by a military parade that passes through the city's main streets. The parade features soldiers in full dress uniform, marching bands, and military vehicles. The parade is followed by a large fireworks display in the evening.

In addition to the parades, there are also special events held in schools and universities throughout the country. These events often feature lectures and discussions on the importance of the October War and its legacy.

The holiday is also an opportunity for Egyptians to remember the fallen soldiers of the October War, as well as the thousands of civilians who were killed or injured in the conflict. In recent years, the holiday has become a time for Egyptians to reflect on the current state of their country and its future.
