Dubai, UAE – May 8, 2025
Residents of the United Arab Emirates are eagerly awaiting the upcoming Eid Al Adha holidays. Based on current astronomical predictions, Arafat Day is expected to fall on Thursday, June 5, 2025, followed by Eid Al Adha from Friday, June 6 to Sunday, June 8.

If these dates are confirmed, UAE residents could enjoy a four-day weekend, combining the public holidays with the regular Saturday-Sunday weekend. This extended break offers an excellent opportunity for family gatherings, travel, and leisure activities.

It's important to note that Islamic holidays are determined by lunar sightings. The UAE Moon Sighting Committee will officially announce the dates closer to the time, based on the sighting of the Dhu Al Hijjah moon.

Given the tentative dates, residents are advised to plan their holidays accordingly but remain flexible until official announcements are made. Employers and employees should also consider these dates when scheduling work and leave plans.
