                          About Public Holidays in Iran

                          Iran runs on the Solar Hijri calendar, and Nowruz (the Persian New Year, around March 20-21) is the country's most significant holiday, marked with a roughly two-week semi-official holiday period nationwide. Islamic Revolution Day (February 11) marks the 1979 revolution, and the Islamic lunar calendar governs Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and Ashura, meaning Iran effectively tracks three different calendar systems across its year.
