Public Holidays in Morocco — 2028
Morocco keeps a short official calendar in 2028: 10 public holidays in total, so each one carries real weight for planning.
4 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 6 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 4 before July and 6 after it — with January the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 108 days, from Friday, January 14, 2028 to Monday, May 1, 2028; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
5 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 1 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Morocco sits in Northern Africa, is run from Rabat, pays in Moroccan Dirham, and has about 36.9M people planning around these same dates.
