Kurban Bayrami (Eid el-Adha), the
"Feast of Sacrifice," 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:
2008, December: begins
on the afternoon of December 7, 2008
(Sunday), and continues for four days
until the evening of December 11, 2008
(Thursday), but in fact many people
will take a long-week holiday from
Saturday, December 6th, through Sunday,
December 14th. Travel may even be affected
on Friday, December 5th as vacationers
get out of town for this extraordinarily
long Kurban Bayrami vacation.
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—until
Sunday, November 21st.
