The UAE has established official Eid Al Adha holidays for people who work in the public sector. The holidays will take place between September 9 and December 12, according to the Gregorian calendar.

The sighting of the Moon, which establishes the beginning and end of Islamic months, will decide the length of the holiday. Depending on the sighting of the moon, residents of the UAE might anticipate a five- or six-day weekend.

According to the Gregorian calendar, Eid Al Adha, commonly known as the Festival of Sacrifice, will be observed from June 27 to July 2. Once the Zul Hijjah moon has been sighted in June, the confirmed dates will be made public. This notification comes in response to the Council of Ministers’ resolution about the schedule of public and private holidays for the year 2023.
