Eid al-Adha 2025 Date Confirmed: UAE to Celebrate on June 6
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.

- 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.
