Good to know
- Dates worked out from the date-holidays rules, version 3.37.0, and checked against the official list from Diyanet, 2429 sayılı Kanun.
- Diyanet sets the bayram dates in advance by calculation, so they don’t wait for a sighting of the new moon.
- A half day starts at the time shown; the morning is a working day.
- A holiday declared at short notice, for an event or an election, may be missing.
