What this value means
Fixed civil dates are per Décret n° 2-77-169 (as amended; Yennayer/14 Jan added 2023). The four Islamic holidays (Aïd Al Fitr and Aïd Al Adha are each observed over 2 days; 1er Moharram; Aïd Al Mawlid, 2 days) are MOON-SIGHTING DEPENDENT — the dates shown are provisional estimates and may shift by a day; the Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs announces the actual dates only shortly before each event, and Morocco frequently observes a day later than astronomical calculations. EXCLUDED pending confirmation — Aïd Al Wahda (31 October): reported in news as a new national holiday decreed by King Mohammed VI in November 2025, but NOT yet listed in the official consolidation of Décret n° 2-77-169 on the Ministry page as of 2026-07-15, and the decree text could not be verified to a primary source — so it is deliberately omitted from the served calendar until an official instrument confirms it. Re-verify (and add 31 Oct if confirmed) closer to the date, along with all provisional religious dates.
