With the New Year celebrations now behind us, many UAE residents are wondering: when is the next public holiday?
The next official break will be for Eid Al Fitr, expected to fall between March 30 and April 3, 2025. However, the exact dates will be confirmed closer to the time, depending on the official sighting of the moon, which determines the start of Ramadan.
Unlike the fixed dates of the Gregorian calendar, the Islamic calendar follows lunar cycles, meaning public holidays shift each year. Since each Islamic month has either 29 or 30 days, the dates of holidays like Eid Al Fitr remain unconfirmed until the moon sighting.
For now, UAE residents can look forward to a possible extended break at the end of March. Keep an eye out for official announcements as the date approaches.
