when is morocco doing eid 2026
In Morocco in 2026, both main Eids are expected on these dates (based on official holiday calendars and astronomical estimates):
- Eid al-Fitr 2026 (Eid Sghir) : Friday 20 March 2026 (national holiday, tentative until the moon is sighted).
- Eid al-Adha 2026 (Eid Kbir) : Wednesday 27 May 2026 (national public holiday; many calendars already list this date for Morocco).
Quick Scoop
Morocco does not fix Eid dates years in advance purely by calculation; the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs confirms them by moon sighting , usually the night before. That means:
- The dates above are “tentative/estimated” but are the ones used in official-style holiday calendars and travel planners for 2026.
- In practice, people planning trips, days off, or family visits in Morocco for 2026 are working with:
- Eid al-Fitr: Friday 20 March 2026
- Eid al-Adha: Wednesday 27 May 2026
If you need to be 100% sure (for flights, exams, etc.), plan around those dates but wait for the official announcement from Moroccan authorities a day or two before each Eid.
