Eid al-Fitr Tours

According to the Religious Affairs Directorate’s calendar, Eid al-Fitr in 2027 falls on 9–11 March (Tuesday–Thursday); the eve of the holiday is Monday, 8 March. It is possible to have a week-long holiday by combining weekends with a few days off. This page lists tours with departure dates that fall during the Eid al-Fitr period.

When Is Eid al-Fitr in 2027?

According to the Presidency of Religious Affairs’ religious holidays calendar, Eid al-Fitr begins on Tuesday, 9 March 2027 and ends on Thursday, 11 March; Monday, 8 March is the eve of the holiday and a half-day public holiday. Taking Friday, 12 March off creates a nine-day break from 6–14 March. Whether the government will also declare a bridge day will be announced later. This page features tours with departure dates between 6–11 March.

Where to Go in March?

In early March, the Red Sea coast is warm, and trips to Cairo and Luxor can be enjoyed before the hot weather; Egypt is one of the most popular destinations during the holiday period. The weather in Dubai is ideal for sightseeing. In the Balkans and European cities, the beginning of spring offers cool weather and fewer crowds. Japan’s cherry blossom season begins toward the end of March.

Short or Long?

When the three days of the holiday and the holiday eve coincide with a weekend, 3–5-night Balkan, Egypt or Dubai itineraries fit in without taking leave. Adding leave creates a nine-day break, which is enough for long-haul destinations such as the Far East and South America.

Busy Periods During Holidays

Public holidays are among the busiest travel periods for domestic and international flights, with crowded airports and higher prices. That’s why early booking is important for holiday tours. If you’re traveling to a country that requires a visa, you should apply in January or February.

Holiday Breaks with the Family

Families often choose the holiday period, as it coincides with school holidays. Child and infant prices are shown separately during the booking process for each tour. Visa-free destinations and itineraries with short flights make traveling with children easier.

Domestic Holidays During the Holiday Break

For those wishing to spend the holiday in Türkiye, March is a quieter time for Cappadocia, Southeastern Anatolia and Aegean itineraries. Balıklıgöl and Göbekli Tepe in Şanlıurfa, Mardin’s stone streets, Gaziantep’s cuisine and the Zeugma Mosaic Museum offer a packed cultural itinerary that fits into a holiday break. In early spring, Cappadocia’s weather is cool and its valleys are uncrowded. Domestic tours do not require a passport or visa; early booking is recommended, as bus and flight tickets sell out quickly during holiday periods.

Holiday Prices

Since holiday periods are among the busiest travel weeks of the year, prices are higher than in a regular week. Departures a week before or after the holiday may be more affordable for the same tour. Prices for each tour vary by date and are shown on the calendar on its page; child and single-room prices are calculated separately during the booking process. Visa fees are not included in the price of most packages.
