                        About Public Holidays in Iran

                        Public holidays in Iran are official observances that may affect government offices, schools, banks, businesses, and public services. These holidays often include national celebrations, religious observances, and important civic dates.

                        This calendar helps residents, travelers, employers, and families plan vacations, work schedules, school breaks, and business closures around official holiday dates.

                        Working Days and Business Closures

                        On major public holidays, many government offices, banks, schools, and private businesses may close or operate with reduced hours. Opening times for shops, restaurants, transport, and local services can vary.

                        Always check with local authorities, employers, or service providers for exact opening hours during public holidays.

                        Frequently Asked Questions

                        How many public holidays are there in Iran?

                        The number of public holidays in Iran can vary by year depending on official calendars, weekends, and local observances.

                        Do businesses close on public holidays in Iran?

                        Many government offices, banks, schools, and businesses close on major public holidays, although private businesses may follow different schedules.

                        Are public holidays the same every year?

                        Some holidays fall on fixed dates every year, while others change because they are based on weekends, religious calendars, or official yearly announcements.

                        How can I take fewer PTO days but get more time off in Iran?

                        Use the "Best Time to Take PTO / Vacation" section on this page. It automatically finds the public holidays in Iran that fall closest to a weekend and tells you exactly how many PTO or vacation days to book to turn them into the longest possible consecutive break.

                        What is the "Smart Time Off" feature?

                        Smart Time Off highlights the single best upcoming opportunity to bridge a public holiday in Iran with a weekend using the fewest PTO or vacation days, so you can plan ahead for the biggest break with the least time taken off work.
