                          About Public Holidays in Jordan

                          Jordan observes a Friday-Saturday weekend, so several fixed civil holidays that land on a Friday - New Year's Day among them - are shifted to the next working day by government decision. Independence Day (May 25) marks 1946 independence from British administration, while Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, set by moon sighting through Jordan's Fatwa Department, typically bring the year's longest closures.
