Employees leave in the UAE on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr

On the occasion of Eid al-Fitr 2023, employees in the government sector in the UAE will be granted time off beginning on Thursday, the 29th of Ramadan, which corresponds to the 20th of April, and lasting until Sunday, the 3rd of Shawwal, which falls on the 23rd of April.

Islamic months last for 29 or 30 days, depending on when the Moon is sighted. Ramadan 29 falls on Thursday, April 20, which is when the Eid break begins. On the same night, the UAE’s moon-sighting committee will meet to confirm the dates of Eid. If the crescent moon is spotted on the night, Friday, April 21, is the first day of Eid. This will give residents a four-day break. If the Moon is not spotted on that night, Saturday, April 22, is when the Islamic festival starts and residents will enjoy a five-day weekend.
