Sukkot is seven days long in Israel and 8 days long in the Diaspora (outside Israel) and is immediately followed by Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah,which is a one-day holiday in Israel and a two day holiday everywhere else. The entire holiday (Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret) is 8 days in Israel, and 9 days in the Diaspora.
