Ramadan 2026 in Morocco: Changes in government offices

The Moroccan government announced on Tuesday the establishment of a continuous schedule from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in public administrations during the month of Ramadan, the beginning of which is estimated to be on February 19 according to astronomical calculations.

The Ministry of Digital Transition and Public Administration Reform confirmed that this exceptional time slot will apply from Monday to Friday in all public institutions and local authorities. This temporary reorganization of working hours aims to adapt the functioning of government services to the specific rhythms of this fasting period.
