In Morocco, Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin on the evening of Tuesday, 17 February 2026 , with the first full day of fasting on Wednesday, 18 February 2026.

Quick dates overview

  • Ramadan begins (sighting‑based) : evening of 17 February 2026 (first fast on 18 February).
  • Expected end of Ramadan : around 18–19 March 2026 , depending on the moon sighting.
  • Eid al‑Fitr (likely) : 20 March 2026 , subject to official confirmation.

Key points for travelers and locals

  • Dates are provisional and will be finalized by Moroccan religious authorities after the actual crescent‑moon sighting , so a one‑day shift (earlier or later) is possible.
  • During Ramadan, business hours, restaurants, and nightlife often change, especially in the afternoons; evenings become livelier around iftar and tarawih prayers.

If you’d like, I can also outline typical iftar/suhoor times in major Moroccan cities (like Casablanca, Marrakech, or Rabat) for that period.
