About Public Holidays in Libya

Libya's public holiday calendar marks key historical turning points alongside Islamic religious observances. National holidays include the 17 February Revolution anniversary commemorating the 2011 uprising, and Independence Day on 24 December marking Libya's independence in 1951. Islamic religious holidays follow the Hijri lunar calendar and include Eid Al-Fitr, Eid Al-Adha, the Prophet's Birthday, and the Islamic New Year, confirmed through moon sighting. The political instability Libya has experienced in recent years has at times affected the consistent announcement and observance of public holidays across different regions of the country. Libya's economy relies heavily on oil production and exports alongside agriculture and services, with the work week running Sunday through Thursday and the weekend on Friday and Saturday. Eid Al-Fitr, Eid Al-Adha, and the Prophet's Birthday dates change each year according to the lunar Hijri calendar, meaning their timing varies from one year to the next.

Practical Information for Residents and Visitors

  • National holidays include revolution and independence anniversaries alongside Islamic holidays.
  • Islamic holiday dates are based on moon sighting and may shift by one day.
