Many foreign investors, company directors and managers are wondering about public holidays in Morocco.
This information note has been drawn up with the latter in mind.
There are 12 public holidays in Morocco, each lasting 24 hours, except for Aïd El fitr and Aïd Al Adha (48 hours).
Please note that the religious holidays of Eid Maoulid and 1st Moharrem are basically 24 hours long (except for public administrations).
In fact, it is only for public administrations that the State provides two public holidays on the occasion of Eid Maoulid. Private companies are not obliged to grant the day after the holiday, in accordance with decree n°2.04.426.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further information.

Faithfully yours,
