The UAE Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) has issued a circular announcing that the Eid Al-Fitr holiday for the federal government sector will be observed from the 1st to 3rd Shawwal 1446 AH, with official work resuming on 4th Shawwal.

 

In the event that the Holy Month of Ramadan concludes with 30 days, the 30th day of Ramadan shall be observed as an additional public holiday, thereby extending the Eid Al-Fitr break.

 

The authority extended its congratulations to the UAE government, its people, residents, and the Arab and Islamic nations, wishing them continued prosperity and well-being.

 

The Moon sighting will take place on March 29 with Islamic months lasting either 29 or 30 days. Eid is celebrated on Shawwal 1, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

 

If the crescent moon is spotted on March 29, Eid Al Fitr holidays will start on Sunday, March 30. However, if the Moon is not spotted on March 29 and the holy month completes 30 days, the first day of the Eid Al Fitr holiday will be on March 31. In this case, Eid holiday will end on April 2.
