Long weekends in Morocco in 2027
Your working week and workplace closures
In Morocco, five long weekends in 2027 need no leave: New Year's Day (January 1 to 3), Proclamation of Independence Day (January 9 to 11), Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Adha Holiday (May 15 to 17) and 2 more. Best value: take Monday, March 8 off for five days in a row around Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Fitr Holiday.

Plan another year: long weekends in Morocco, 2026 to 2031.
How the planner works
Each row starts from a holiday that is a day off in the Morocco holiday calendar we use, with its substitute day where the calendar gives one for a holiday on a weekend. It takes Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, as in Morocco. If you work other days, or your workplace closes for a stretch, set them under “Your working week and workplace closures”: the rows, the leave budget and the calendar file then count leave only on days you would work. A holiday on a day you do not work adds no day off here; some employers give another day instead. The suggested leave days join the holiday to the nearest weekend or other holiday, using at most four days of leave, and the row shows the option with the most days off for each day of leave.
Islamic holidays follow the moon, so their dates here are estimates until the official announcement, and a break around them can move by a day.
Employers, schools and regional calendars can add or move days. Check your own working pattern before booking.
