For Muslims not on pilgrimage, it is a day of fasting and reflection.
    Following Arafah Day, Eid Al Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” will be celebrated on Sunday, June 16.

Following the prayers, the ritual of animal sacrifice is performed, reflecting the story of Prophet Ibrahim. The meat from the sacrifice is then distributed, ensuring that everyone, including the less fortunate, can partake in the celebrations.
    Additionally, the UAE sees various cultural and recreational events during Eid. Malls, parks, and public spaces host activities and entertainment for families, enhancing the festive spirit. Traditional Emirati dishes are prepared, and the exchange of gifts among family and friends is common.
