Kurban
Bayramı (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:
2011, November: begins
with arife (preparation)
in the afternoon on November
5, 2011 (Saturday), and continues for
four days until the evening of
November 9, 2011 (Wednesday), but
travel effects may be felt from Friday,
November 4, through Sunday, November
13, 2011.
2012, October: begins
with arife (preparation) on
October 24 (Wednesday), and continues
for four days until the evening of
October 28 (Sunday; Turkey's Republic
Day, a major patriotic holiday,
is the next day, October 29, Monday),
with travel effects through October
30, 2012 (Tuesday).
2013, October: begins
with arife (preparation) on
October 14 (Saturday), and continues
