Yesterday, authorities confirmed the UAE will celebrate Eid Al Fitr on Sunday, March 30, after the
spotting of the Shawwal crescent.
This means that UAE residents will get a four-day break to celebrate the Islamic festival, in the first
long weekend of 2025. This aligns with the official UAE holiday calendar which had said that the Eid
Al Fitr holiday would be from Shawwal 1 to Shawwal 3. This year, an official announcement added
that Sunday March 30 (Ramadan 30) will also be a paid holiday.
