About Public Holidays in ایران
Iran's holidays follow both the solar Persian calendar and the Islamic lunar year. Nowruz, the Persian New Year on the spring equinox, is the country's greatest celebration, with the Haft-Seen table, fire-jumping on the last Wednesday and thirteen days of family visits. Islamic observances such as Ashura, the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, and the two Eids are public holidays, alongside the anniversary of the 1979 revolution on February 11 and the Islamic Republic's founding on April 1. The calendar's dual structure gives Iran a distinctive rhythm of celebration and remembrance.
In 2026, Iran observes 32 public holidays including 32 national, of which 7 fall on a weekend.
