Algeria Calendar

Algeria uses UTC+1 year-round with no daylight saving. The working week runs Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend. Its civil holidays centre on the independence struggle — from the start of the revolution on 1 November 1954 to independence on 5 July 1962 — alongside Yennayer, the Amazigh New Year.

Yennayer (12 January) has been a national holiday since 2018. Islamic holidays — Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, the Islamic New Year, Ashura and Mawlid — depend on moon sighting, so we omit them here — see our Data Sources page.
