Mauritania records 4 holidays in 2025. 4 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Africa Day (25 May 2025) falls on a weekend in 2025, so it hands back no extra day off. Labour Day (1 May 2025) sits on a Tuesday or Thursday, so booking the Friday turns it into a four-day break. The busiest month is May, with 2 of them. The longest run without one is 187 days, between 25 May 2025 and 28 Nov 2025. The last was Independence Day on 28 Nov 2025.
