Public Holidays: Holidays in Jordan are either religious (Islamic or Christian) or celebrations of important events in Jordanian or Arab history. Non-Islamic holidays are fixed, while Islamic holidays vary according to the lunar Muslim calendar.
*Islamic Holidays: As the lunar Hijra calendar is 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar, each year Islamic holidays fall approximately 11 days earlier than in the previous year. The precise dates are known only shortly before they fall, however, as they depend on the sighting of the moon.
Eid Al-Fitr - Also knows an al-Eid al-Sagheer (the little feast), it is a three (3) day celebration that marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting.
Eid Al-Adha - Known commonly as the al-Eid al-Kabeer (the big feast), it falls at the end of the month of Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). It commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim's offering of Isma'il for sacrifice. During these four (4) day celebration, families who can afford to slaughter a lamb share the meat with poorer Muslims.
Hijra New Year - Islamic New Year.
Mawlid al-Nabi - The Prophet Muhammad's birthday.
al-Isra'wa'al Mi'raj - the feast that celebrates the nocturnal visit of Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h (praise be unto him) to heaven.
