Weekend days are Fridays and Saturdays . • Muslim Calendar: the dates used to calculate the occurrence of Muslim public holidays in Libya are determined by the Libyan Center for Remote Sensing and Space Science, or LCRSS. Over the last few years, Nigeria and Libya, have often declared the beginning of Hijra months earlier than all other Muslim countries. This is particularly true of the start of the month of Ramadan and of the Eid al Fitr public holiday, in some cases (eg. 2008) even declaring the month to begin before the New Moon had occurred. • Libya International Codes LY and LBY (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .ly (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Libya information and news: Central Bank of Libya (Libya central bank), UnitedHealthcare Global (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Libya maps, demographics and economic statistics), and Wikipedia (includes Libya 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 Libya, may belong to a religious group that is not common in Libya, 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 Libya.

Religious Holidays : Public holidays in Libya 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.
