However, if the first day of Eid falls on Monday 31 March, the holiday will be extended to Wednesday 2 April. The start of Eid Al Fitr depends on the sighting of the moon, which will determine the final day of Ramadan.
This follows the announcement of Eid holidays for the public sector, ensuring that all workers in the UAE can enjoy this special time with family and friends.
