Though my husband refuses to recognize this as a holiday (there is a story in this that I won't get into here) but today is Eid Al-Ārch or day of enthronement in Morocco. You might want to wish a happy holiday to your Moroccan SOs.

Thanks for the info. My hubby also informed me that it's the king's birthday tomorrow.

I don't think you would say Eid Mubarak to ordinary Moroccans today, just send greetings to the king.
I was in Morocco one year ago today--one of my husband's friends was invited to the throne day ceremony in Rabat--apparently if you are invited you MUST attend, and you must wear all white.
