Eid-ul-Fitr marks the celebration on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal.
Anticipation is high as UAE residents await a potential nine-day Eid holiday, beginning from April 8 onwards. This extended break will not require individuals to take annual leave, providing ample time to partake in festivities without impacting work commitments. If Ramadan extends to 30 days, the Eid holidays are expected to span from April 8 to April 12, incorporating two weekends. Alternatively, if Ramadan lasts 29 days, the break will be from April 8 to April 11, encompassing weekends and totaling nine days off.”
