Planning tips
- The Hijri New Year is not a religious festival, and countries differ on whether it is an official holiday.
- An official holiday may fall a day away from the calculation.
- Ashura follows nine days later.
Always allow a one-day margin before any booking or commitment tied to this date, and follow your country's official announcement.
