About Public Holidays in Tunisia
Tunisia's public holiday calendar combines national history, Islamic tradition, and a distinctly modern social character. Independence Day on 20 March marks Tunisia's independence from French protectorate in 1956, while 14 January Revolution Day commemorates the 2011 uprising. In some years Independence Day and Eid Al-Fitr fall on the same date — as is the case in 2026 — creating an unusual confluence in the holiday calendar. Republic Day on 25 July commemorates the declaration of the Tunisian Republic in 1957. Tunisia observes a Saturday-Sunday weekend like Morocco and Lebanon, reflecting its historically strong ties with Europe. Labour Day on 1 May is also observed as a public holiday. Tunisia's economy is based on tourism, agriculture, manufacturing, and services, with the work week running Monday through Friday and the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. Eid Al-Fitr, Eid Al-Adha, and the Prophet's Birthday dates shift each year according to the lunar Hijri calendar.
