The short answer
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin about Monday 8 February and run for about 30 days, ending around 9 March, with Eid al-Fitr about 9 to 10 March. The exact start depends on the moon sighting announced by Morocco's Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs, and can move by a day.
In more detail
Islamic months follow the moon, so Ramadan moves about eleven days earlier each year in the Western calendar. Our calendar for 2026 and 2027, researched in October 2026 from prayer-time and calendar sources, puts Ramadan 1448 at about 8 February to 9 March 2027. Some sources give 9 February as the first day. Treat both ends as approximate until the announcement.
Some older travel pages still give dates in late January for 2027. Use the February dates, and confirm the start with the official announcement in the days before you travel.
Two practical points for visitors. Morocco has stayed on GMT all year since 20 September 2026, so there is no clock change at the start or end of Ramadan any more. And England's February half-term, 15 to 19 February 2027, falls inside Ramadan, when palaces close earlier, at about 16:00. Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days, and its end is also set by the moon, so Eid al-Fitr can move by a day too. If your trip sits right at either end, keep a little flexibility in the plan, especially for transport and restaurant bookings.
