Understanding Morocco public holidays
MA list from the Nager Public Holidays API, with a country note on regional and legal limits—read before you rely on a single row.
The Moroccan public calendar juxtaposes national and religious holidays; civil assignment for lunar Islamic dates in the MA set from Nager Public Holidays (date.nager.at) for the selected country code should match a typical published national calendar, but the Kingdom’s official proclamation is the last word. Amazigh New Year and other observances are sometimes added at national or regional level—reconcile with a local .ma source for edge cases.
Throne Day, Independence-related commemorations, and Labour Day are common civil anchors for office planning. Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and the Islamic New Year move on the Gregorian calendar year to year; our feed shows the civil dates the API has for the year you selected, not a remembered date from a prior year.
Casablanca banking calendars and Rabat government offices may track national holidays closely, while tourism and retail in Marrakech or coastal towns can keep partial hours. Schools add exam and vacation windows that are not public holidays. If you split time between Morocco and France or Spain, compare MA with FR or ES lists so cross-border calls avoid one-sided closures.
This page is for orientation—spotting empty weekdays, travel load around Eid, and year-to-year shifts—not for employment litigation or tax claims. When a notarial appointment, court filing, or pilgrimage-related timing cannot slip, use the competent Moroccan authority’s published calendar for that year alongside your employer’s leave rules.
Common questions (MA)
If my employer uses a different day for Eid, who wins?
Employment and sector rules apply, plus the official proclamation. This page never overrides a Moroccan government notice or a signed contract.
Why do Islamic holidays move every year on this page?
They follow the lunar calendar and are mapped to Gregorian civil dates by Moroccan authorities for each year. Always open the year you are planning rather than copying last year’s weekday.
Is Amazigh New Year always on this list?
Recognition and civil dating can change with national policy. If a row is missing or named differently from a local source, trust the official Moroccan calendar for that year over a foreign API summary.
Can I rely on this for school attendance?
Only as a baseline. School calendars include additional breaks and exam periods. Your académie or school’s year plan decides when pupils must attend.
