About Public Holidays in Comoros
Comoros observes a combination of national independence celebrations and Islamic religious holidays, reflecting its identity as the southernmost Arab Muslim state in the Indian Ocean. Independence Day on 6 July marks Comoros' independence from France in 1975 and is the country's principal national holiday. Islamic holidays are central to Comorian social life; Eid Al-Fitr, Eid Al-Adha, and the Prophet's Birthday are observed with significant community celebrations rooted in the country's deeply Islamic cultural traditions. The Comoros islands observe Friday and Saturday as the official weekend, consistent with Islamic tradition. Comoros' economy is based on agriculture — particularly vanilla, cloves, and perfume essences — alongside fishing, remittances from the diaspora, and eco-tourism. The work week runs Monday through Friday with the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. Eid Al-Fitr, Eid Al-Adha, and the Prophet's Birthday dates shift annually according to the lunar Hijri calendar.
