The UAE has officially announced that Eid al-Adha 2025 will be celebrated on Friday, June 6. The date was confirmed after the sighting of the Dhul Hijjah crescent moon on the evening of May 28, 2025.

This announcement aligns with similar declarations from Saudi Arabia and Oman. The confirmation of the moon sighting marks the start of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah, which includes the Day of Arafah (June 5) and the major celebration of Eid the following day.

Eid al-Adha, also known as the "Festival of Sacrifice," is one of the most significant Islamic holidays, commemorating the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command. Traditionally, families gather for prayers, sacrifice animals, and share food with the less fortunate.

Public Holidays in the UAE for Eid 2025

  • June 5 (Thursday) – Arafah Day
  • June 6 to June 8 (Friday to Sunday) – Eid al-Adha

This gives most employees a long weekend of four days, which many will use for travel, family gatherings, or rest.

Stay tuned for more updates on Eid celebrations, shopping deals, and public events in the UAE.

Why Dettol Burns When You Apply It on Wounds

  Dettol is one of the most common antiseptics we use at home, but almost everyone feels a sharp burn when they put it on a cut. This reaction is normal and happens because Dettol contains strong germ-killing ingredients. When these ingredients touch broken skin, the exposed nerve endings react immediately, which creates the burning feeling. The main antiseptic in Dettol is chloroxylenol. It kills bacteria effectively, but it also irritates fresh wounds for a few seconds. Dettol may also contain alcohol, which adds to the sting because alcohol evaporates quickly and tends to irritate open skin. Fresh cuts are already inflamed, so even a mild antiseptic can feel aggressive when applied. The burning sensation usually settles in a short time. It doesn’t mean the wound is getting worse. If the cut is large or if someone has very sensitive skin, using saline water or a mild antiseptic wash is a more comfortable choice.
