About Public Holidays in Morocco
Morocco's public holiday calendar reflects its rich blend of Amazigh, Arab, Islamic, and modern national identity. In addition to shared Islamic holidays like Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha, Morocco celebrates Throne Day on 30 July, marking King Mohammed VI's accession in 1999 — one of the country's most festive national occasions. Other national holidays include Manifesto of Independence Day on 11 January, Youth Day on 21 August, and Independence Day on 18 November. Morocco stands out among Arab countries by observing a Saturday-Sunday weekend, aligning with European business practices and reflecting its close economic ties with the EU. The country also observes Labour Day on 1 May as a public holiday. Morocco's economy is diversified across agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, phosphate mining, and services, with the work week running Monday through Friday and the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. Islamic holidays shift annually according to the lunar Hijri calendar.
