About these dates

These dates come from the date-holidays library and have not been checked by hand against Iran's official calendar. Check before you book.

Some days here follow a calendar other than the Gregorian one, such as Anniversary of Islamic Revolution, End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr), Islamic Republic Day. Those dates are calculated rather than announced, so the real day can fall a day either side of what is shown. Check them against an official calendar before you book around one.

These dates come straight from the holiday library and have not been checked against this country’s official calendar by hand. Treat them as a starting point.
