Morocco observes around fifteen paid public holidays per year: fixed-date civil holidays (New Year's Day, Labour Day), national holidays (Independence Manifesto Day on January 11, Throne Day, Oued Ed-Dahab Day, Revolution of the King and the People, Youth Day, Unity Day on October 31, Green March, Independence Day), the Amazigh New Year (Yennayer), and Islamic holidays set by the Hijri calendar: Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Islamic New Year, Ashura and Mawlid an-Nabi.
Religious dates move about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year and are only final after the lunar crescent sighting: check this page regularly, estimated dates are updated as soon as they are officially confirmed. Also watch for bridge days: when a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, the Wednesday or Friday makes a long weekend perfect for concerts, festivals and going out.
