Exciting Ramadan 2025 Dates and How Morocco Is Preparing for the Holy Month

Ramadan is a cherished time for Muslims around the world, a period dedicated to reflection, worship, and community. As 2025 approaches, Morocco is gearing up for an extraordinary Ramadan experience, and the dates for the Holy Month are almost here. If you’ve been wondering when this sacred occasion will begin and end, you’re in the right place to find out.

Ramadan typically follows the Islamic lunar calendar, which is about 10 to 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar we commonly use. As a result, the start and end of Ramadan shift each year. For instance, Ramadan began on March 22 in 2023, and this year, in 2025, it is expected to begin around the evening of February 27, lasting until March 29, 2025. However, since the Islamic calendar is based on the sighting of the moon, the exact dates may vary slightly, depending on local moon sightings, so keep an eye on official announcements.

In Morocco, preparations for Ramadan begin well before the month starts. Families and communities come together to plan their activities and set the stage for a month of fasting, prayers, and charitable acts. Many businesses and shops adjust their schedules to accommodate those observing the fast, and the demand for food products increases as people prepare to break their fast each day with the Iftar meal.

But what makes 2025's Ramadan particularly exciting is that it also falls in a year where the Islamic calendar aligns in a way that makes it possible to experience two Ramadans in a single year – one at the beginning of 2025 and another in December 2030. This phenomenon occurs because of the gradual 10 to 11-day shift in the Islamic lunar calendar every year, making two Ramadans in the same Gregorian year a rare occurrence. The last time this happened was in 1997, and it won’t happen again until 2030.

In 2025, Morocco’s Ramadan celebrations will be filled with spiritual devotion, family time, and, of course, feasts. As the Holy Month draws near, people will prepare for the unique traditions that make Ramadan so special: from the pre-dawn Suhoor meal to the Iftar at sunset, where families gather to share delicious dishes. Cities like Casablanca, Marrakesh, and Rabat will witness vibrant Ramadan markets, where food and essentials are in high demand, and the streets will come alive with energy as locals and tourists prepare for the Ramadan spirit.

As we get closer to Ramadan 2025, it’s important to stay informed about the official dates for the start and end of the Holy Month. As always, official announcements will be made once the moon sighting confirms the arrival of Ramadan, so be ready for any updates.
