How it works

Religious holidays

Religious holidays are Official when the moon sightings confirm it, therefore all future Religious holidays are estimated.

Once confirmed, the status of the HolidayStatus changes to HolidayStatus.OFFICIAL.

National holidays

National holidays are defined in the gregorian calendar.

King days

Since Morocco is a Kingdom (Royaume du Maroc), there are holidays which depend on the birthday of the current King and the day of his coronation.

Weekends

Weekends (Saturday and Sunday) are considered as holidays in our API, but they are not returned in the response. Officially only the Sunday is a dayoff, but since the whole economy works from Monday - Friday, we decided to consider them both for a better user/developper experience.

Data Model

All Holidays follow the SCD Type 2 approach for keeping the history. The implication is that you won't find Holidays when they weren't defined.

History

Religious holidays are qualidfied since 2006. More years will be added up to 1985.
