Turkey has announced exciting news for 2025's Ramadan Bayram celebration - a generous 9-day holiday period running from March 29 to April 6. This extended break combines the traditional three-day Eid celebration with additional administrative leave days, creating a longer vacation for public sector employees, bank staff, and many others.
The holiday will begin on Saturday, March 29, with the official Bayram celebrations running from Sunday through Tuesday (March 30 - April 1). The government has added three extra administrative leave days from Wednesday to Friday (April 2-4), and with the following weekend included, it creates a full 9-day break.
During this time, government offices and banks will be closed, so it's important to handle any essential business before March 28. While public institutions will be closed, many private businesses, especially in retail and tourism, may remain open to serve holiday visitors.
This extended holiday is perfect for traditional Bayram activities like family gatherings, sharing special treats, and wearing new clothes. It's also an ideal time for travel, as early April offers beautiful spring weather in Turkey. If you're planning to travel, it's recommended to book accommodations and transportation well in advance, as this period will be particularly busy.
For businesses, it's advisable to decide and communicate holiday schedules by mid-March, ensuring everyone understands the operational plans. Remember that while these are the planned dates, slight adjustments might occur based on moon sightings, so it's wise to keep an eye on official announcements as the holiday approaches.
