Eid Al Adha 2025 Holiday Dates Announced in the UAE
The anticipated dates for the Eid Al Adha celebrations in the UAE have been outlined, pending official confirmation.
The United Arab Emirates has projected that Eid Al Adha will be observed in 2025 on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd of June.
These dates are determined based on the Islamic lunar calendar, which varies annually.
The final confirmation of Eid Al Adha's exact date will depend on the sighting of the moon, as is customary in Islamic tradition.
This important holiday commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to God's command and marks the conclusion of the Hajj pilgrimage, which is a significant pillar of Islam.
In the UAE, Eid Al Adha is accompanied by public holidays, where many workers may receive days off to celebrate with family and engage in charitable acts.
The moon-sighting committee of the Emirates is responsible for declaring the official date of the festivities, typically announcing it a day or two before the holiday begins.
The expected holiday will be observed nationwide with various events and celebrations featuring cultural traditions and communal prayers.
