      UAE has officially announced the dates for the Eid Al-Adha holidays in 2023. According to local media reports, the sighting of the Dhul Al Hijjah crescent moon has determined the schedule.
      The crescent of Dhu al-Hijjah was sighted by the UAE Moon Sighting Committee on Sunday, confirming that Wednesday, June 28 is the first day of Eid Al Adha 2023.
      Arafat Day, an important religious occasion in the Islamic calendar dedicated to reflection and prayer, will take place on Tuesday, June 27. It is advisable for businesses to anticipate reduced staffing or limited availability on this solemn day.
      Following Arafat Day, Eid Al-Adha will commence on Wednesday, June 28. This joyous celebration honours Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son. The festivities will span from June 28 to July 1, during which there may be a decrease in workforce participation or temporary closure of certain businesses.

      Eid Al-Adha 2023 dates predicted by the Emirates Astronomy Society

      Get ready for a six-day long weekend as UAE astronomers have predicted Eid Al-Adha to fall on June 28, 2023.
      Looking for any further confirmation to plan your holiday around Eid Al-Adha? Here’s your cue. The Emirates Astronomy Society has forecasted a long weekend in June, starting from Wednesday June 28, giving the residents enough time to plan a relaxing break.
      Ibrahim Al Jarwan, chairman of Emirates Astronomy Society, predicted that Dhul Hijjah will start on Monday June 19. Eid Al-Adha, which falls on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic calendar, would then most likely be on Wednesday June 28.
      Arafat Day, which falls one fay before Eid, is likely to be on Tuesday, June 27. While the confirmation of it all still depends on the sighting of the moon, this prediction however will help you prepare better for your holiday.
      Residents of UAE residents will celebrate this public holiday from Tuesday June 27 until July 2 (which includes the weekend).

      The festival of Eid Al-Adha is all about commemorating Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to God and his willingness to sacrifice his son, after receing a command from the almighty in his dream. But after observing his dedication regardless of the plight of the situation, God replaced Ibrahim’s son with a sheep, symbolising it as the the spirit of the festival.

      Eid Al Adha 2023: UAE residents to potentially have a six-day long weekend

      Dealing with holiday blues after the Eid Al-Fitr weekend? Fret not, the next long break is just around the corner.
      According to UAE’s official calendar of public holidays, the next potential holiday will fall on the Day of Arafah and Eid Al Adha. As per the Islamic calendar, it will fall between Zul Hijjah 9 to 12, resulting in a four-day long break. But since these dates are chalked right before the weekend, residents of UAE might just enjoy a hefty break of six days.
      Based on Astronomy expert Ibrahim Al Jarwan’s video, the Islamic month of Zul Hijjah will begin on Monday, June 19. Which means, Eid Al Adha will most likely be on Wednesday, June 28. The Day of Arafah falls a day prior and will be potentially observed on Tuesday, June 27.
      Keeping all the significant dates in mind, the Eid Al Adha break in UAE might begin from Tuesday, June 27  to Friday, June 30 — the weekend addition will extend the holiday by two extra days.
      Although, just like every other Islamic holiday, the confirmation of this depends on the moon-sighting.
      Now that you have a head start, plan your next vacation accordingly. To make the rest of your year hassle-free here is the complete list of remaining holidays for the year 2023.

      As per the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources, dates have confirmed the Eid Al Fitr holiday period for the public sector (Government workers) in the Islamic Calendar (Hijri).
      A post on Twitter has been shared announcing that the Eid al-Fitr holiday for the Federal Government is from Ramadan 29 until the Shawwal 3.

      However, the moon-sighting committee will convene on the night Ramadan 29 to confirm the dates of Eid. Depending on this, the holiday could begin from Thursday, April 20 and run until Sunday, April 23, with regular working hours then resuming on Monday, April 24, 2023.
      How long is the break for?
      The Eid Al Fitr holiday will begin on Thursday April 20 in the UAE.
      This completely depends on when the moon is sighted The start date of the break does not depend on when the moon is sighted as Ramadan 29 falls on April 20. If the moon is spotted on that night, the break is from Thursday, April 20, until Sunday, April 23.
      If the moon is not seen on that night, residents will have an additional day off since Ramadan 30 will also be a holiday. It’s still yet to be confirmed by the sighting of the moon as to whether the Eid break will be four or five days, but work will resume either on Monday April 24 or Tuesday April 25, depending on whether Ramadan is 29 or 30 days.
      What is Eid Al Fitr?
      In the Islamic Calendar, Eid Al Fitr marks the official end of Ramadan and is the first day of Shawwal. During the Holy Month Muslims around the world fast from sunrise to sunset for around 30 days, depending on the sighting of the moon. Eid Al Fitr marks the end of fasting, and literally translates in English to the “feast of breaking the fast”.

      Luckily, there’s a long weekend on the horizon to mark Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha.
      Each year in the Islamic calendar, Eid Al Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah and lasts for four days, with the first day of the holiday being Arafat Day. This period honour the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, to obey Allah’s command, but a lamb was sacrificed instead.
      With the upcoming Islamic holiday set to fall in July, per the Gregorian Calendar, we’ve also rounded up when you can expect the rest of the public holidays in the UAE to fall in 2022.
      Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha
      Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha will fall on 9-12 of Dhu Al-Hijjah, which is expected to be between Friday, July 8 and Tuesday, July 12.
      Islamic New Year
      A couple of weeks later it’s the Hijri New Year. Falling on Muharram 1, it’s projected to fall around July 30, 2022.
