Ramadan has started, and that means Eid al-Fitr is just around the corner<\/strong>. If you haven\u2019t planned your time off yet, there\u2019s still a chance to make the most of the upcoming break.

Expected Eid al-Fitr 2025 Dates<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The UAE typically grants public holidays from 29 Ramadan to 3 Shawwal. This year, if Ramadan lasts 29 days, Eid al-Fitr is likely to fall on Sunday, 30 March<\/strong>. That would mean a four-day holiday<\/strong>, with employees resuming work on Wednesday, 2 April.<\/p>\n

If Ramadan lasts the full 30 days, Eid would be on Monday, 31 March<\/strong>. In that case, the holiday could extend to Thursday, 3 April, giving a five-day break<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How Long is the Eid Break?<\/h3>\n

Last year, UAE residents enjoyed a nine-day holiday<\/strong> for Eid al-Fitr. While a similar extended break hasn\u2019t been confirmed for 2025, the official announcement will clarify whether additional days off will be granted.<\/p>\n

What Happens During Eid al-Fitr?<\/h3>\n

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Shawwal, a time of celebration for Muslims around the world. Families come together to share meals, exchange gifts, and enjoy traditional sweets<\/strong>. The UAE comes alive with festive lights, cultural performances, and events across the emirates.<\/p>\n
