About public holidays in Morocco
Morocco observes 18 public holidays in 2026. These include national holidays, religious observances, and commemorative days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Data on this page is sourced from official government publications and updated annually. Variable holidays — such as Easter, Eid, and other religious observances — are calculated on their respective calendars and may shift by 1–2 days depending on official announcements.
When a public holiday in Morocco falls on a Saturday or Sunday, many employers observe a substitute day off the following Monday or preceding Friday — though practice varies by employer and sector.
