Hyderabad, March 14 -- Residents in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can expect up to five days of holidays for Eid Al-Fitr, marking the end of the holy month of Ramzan 1446-2025.

The official duration of the holiday will be determined by the sighting of the crescent moon.

Eid Al-Fitr falls on the first day of Shawwal. Since Islamic months are based on lunar cycles and can last either 29 or 30 days, the UAE's moon-sighting committee will convene on Saturday, March 29 (Ramzan 29), to confirm the exact date of Eid.

If the crescent moon is sighted on March 29, Ramzan will conclude after 29 days, and the holiday will run from Sunday, March 30, to Tuesday, April 1, providing residents with a four-day break, including the Saturday weekend.
