The government of the United Republic Of Tanzania has announced that the upcoming Maulid (Prophet's Birthday) non-working public holiday in Tanzania would be observed on Friday, January 25, 2013.

As is often the case (2013-01-09, 2012-01-04, 2010-12-30, 2009-10-27, 2009-03-04 and 2009-01-08), the dates of Muslim public holidays are much later than most of the other countries of Africa and the Middle East.

Note that the official site of the Bank of Tanzania has different dates for the 2013 Muslim public holidays in Tanzania.
