Residents of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can look forward to a long holiday in 2025 to celebrate Eid Al Fitr, which will be the first extended break of the year.
The exact dates of the holiday will be confirmed on March 29, when the moon-sighting committee meets to determine the end of Ramadan. Since the Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle, the sighting of the new moon will decide the first day of Eid.
If the moon is sighted as expected, people in the UAE will get a break of four or five days, including the weekend. This will give families and friends plenty of time to celebrate together, visit loved ones, and enjoy special Eid traditions.
Eid Al Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection for Muslims around the world. The holiday is a joyous occasion, celebrated with feasts, gifts, and gatherings.
This long weekend will be a great opportunity for residents to relax, travel, or simply enjoy the festivities with their families.
