Frequently asked questions
What is a long weekend in Morocco?
A long weekend in Morocco occurs when a public holiday falls on a Monday or Friday, giving you a 3-day weekend without using any vacation days.

In 2026, Morocco has 8 vacation extension opportunities — a combination of natural long weekends and bridge days.
When are the best long weekends to travel in Morocco in 2026?
