Kurban
Bayrami (Eid el-Adha), the
"Feast of Sacrifice" on 10
Zilhicce (Dhul-hijja) of the
Islamic Hijri calendar, will
affect your travel plans if you travel
in Turkey during the four-day holiday—which
can stretch to a week or more,
depending upon the dates:
2009, November-December: begins
with arife (preparation)
in the afternoon on November 27,
2009 (Friday), and continues for
four days until the evening of December
1, 2009 (Tuesday). Many vacationers
will leave town on Friday and return
on Tuesday or Wednesday.
2010,
November: begins
with arife (preparation)
in the afternoon on November 16,
2010 (Tuesday), and continues for
four days until the evening of
November 20, 2010 (Saturday), but
of course vacationers will probably
stay away—and be traveling—through
Sunday, November 21st.
2011, November: begins
with arife (preparation)
in the afternoon on November 6, 2011
(Sunday), and continues for four days
until the evening of November 10, 2011
(Thursday), but travel effects
will be felt from Friday, November
4, through Sunday, November 13, 2011.
2012, October: begins
with arife (preparation) on
October 25 (Thursday), and continues
for four days until the evening of
October 29 (Monday, Turkey's Republic
Day, a major patriotic holiday),
with travel effects through October
30, 2012 (Tuesday).
