Save the Date for the Eid ul Fitr 2025 Holidays & Celebrations
As September has already started, and we are going to end another year soon, it is important to track the vacations or public holidays in 2025. The necessity of keeping track of public holidays becomes relevant so that you can plan your time off correctly.
Eid Al Fitr will be the first significant public holiday that will be considered in the UAE following the New Year's celebrations in 2025. The Ministry of the UAE officially announced that there will be a minimum of three days off during the occasion of Eid which could be extended by one more day pending if Ramadan lasts for 30 days. Many were expecting a similar lengthy weekend in 2024 following the nine-day break.
The UAE follows both Islamic and Gregorian calendars for dates. Public holidays, especially religious ones, are declared by the moon-sighting committee because their dates in the Islamic calendar coincide with the Hijri calendar.
How many days are left in Eid ul Fitr 2025?
After nine days of Eid leave in 2024, many are hoping for another longer weekend in the upcoming year. Astronomers predicted in July that the crescent moon of Ramadan 2025 will be born on a Friday, 30th March 2025. Get ready for your Eid 2025 holiday break to start time for joy, reunions, and well-deserved rest!
