Governing Law: Official public holidays in the Gabon are regulated by the "Décret, n°000484/PR/MTE du 26 mai 2004", which amended parts of the 1998 Décret no 727/PR/MTEFP du 28 juin 1998 réglementant le régime des jours fériés, which itself repealed the 1992 Décret no 715/PR/MTEFPRH du 3 avril 1992 modifiant la réglementation du régime des jours fériés en République gabonaise. • National Day: Since 2002, the official National Day celebrations take place in 2 different regional capitals every year, in a rotation that is called "fêtes tournantes". In 2006, however, National Day returned to the capital, Libreville . • Renovation Day (March 12) and Martyrs' Day (May 6) appeared a few years ago on one of the online list of Gabon public holidays, and has since been re-copied onto multiple websites. However, we cannot find any reference to either of these public holidays, anywhere. • Gabon International Codes GA and GAB (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .ga (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Gabon information and news: Bank of Central African States (Gabon central bank), UnitedHealthcare Global (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Gabon maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Gabon), and Wikipedia (includes Gabon commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).

Religion of Specific Business Contacts : Some of the business contacts that you may be trying to meet in Gabon, may belong to a religious group that is not common in Gabon, and therefore which is not included in the above list of public holidays or bank holidays. To be safe, you should also verify that no major religious holidays coincides with any planned business trip to Gabon.

Religious Holidays : Public holidays in Gabon that are based on certain religious calendars may be subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities, or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious (bad luck). To find out more about these uncertainties, see the footnote below, if any, for each specific religion.

Muslim Holidays : Muslim bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays for Gabon were evaluated using the Umm al-Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia which is used in Saudi Arabia and in most of the Persian Gulf States. Holidays may occur a day later in countries outside the Gulf region. The sunrises, sunsets, moon phases, moonrises and moonsets used in these calculations are based on the location of Mecca (latitude 21.42°N, longitude, 39.82°E, GMT+3 hours, no summer time rules).
