Korité closes the month of Ramadan: morning prayer, then visits to family and friends in festive clothes. In 2026, the public holiday fell on March 20. Like all Islamic holidays, the date can shift by a day depending on the moon sighting. The French foreign ministry advises against all travel to Niger.
