Evaluation of official holidays .. Eid Al -Fitr holiday 2025 may extend to 5 days, according to the vision of the crescent

According to Cabinet Resolution No. (27) of 2024 regarding official holidays in the country, the Eid al -Fitr holiday may extend 2025 to four or five days, according to the vision of the crescent of the Shawwal month, where the deadline for the holiday will be announced after the investigation of Al -Hilal on Saturday evening, March 29, 2025.

Details of Eid Al Fitr vacation in the Emirates
According to the official holiday calendar, the Eid Al -Fitr holiday includes the first, second and third days of the month of Shawwal, but its final duration depends on the vision of the crescent, which may allow employees a long vacation.

If the blessed month of Ramadan is completed 30 days, on the 30th of Ramadan, it will be an official holiday that is added to the Eid Al -Fitr holiday.

Eid al -Fitr date, according to the vision of the crescent
If the crescent of Shawwal is seen on Saturday evening, March 29th, the first day of Eid will be Sunday 30 March, which means that the official leave will extend from Sunday to Tuesday, and thus employees will receive a four -day vacation from Saturday to Tuesday.

But if the crescent is not seen on Saturday evening, Ramadan will be 30 days, and the first day of Eid Al -Fitr will be on Monday 31 March, which means that the official holiday will extend from Saturday to Wednesday, which gives employees a five -day vacation.

Astronomical expectations: Will Eid be on Sunday or Monday?
Astronomical accounts issued by the National Institute for Astronomical and Geophysical Research in Egypt indicate that the Shawwal Hilal will be born on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at 1 pm Cairo time, and will remain visible after sunset in most Arab countries. This enhances the possibility that Eid al -Fitr will be on Sunday 30 March.

However, the state depends on the official committees to monitor Al -Hilal to determine the official date for Eid al -Fitr. Therefore, the deadline will be announced on Saturday evening, March 29, after the Crescent investigation.
