The Eid Al Adha confirmed dates are here and we will enjoy a four-day weekend break

A four-day long weekend is happening for residents of the UAE.

Eid Al Adha falls on the Dhul Hijjah 10 (or Arafat Day) after Saudi Arabia sighted the Dhul Hijah moon last night, making Thursday, 5 June as the first day of Dhul Hijjah, meaning Eid Al Adha will fall on Friday, 6 June until Sunday, 8 June.

We can’t wait.
