Ramadan 2023 in UAE: dates announced for the Holy Month and Eid Al Fitr

Ramadan 2023

Another long weekend for Eid Al Fitr 2023 holidays in UAE

It’s that time of the year again – well, almost. The Holy Month of Ramadan 2023 is upon us.

According to astronomical calculations, Ramadan 2023 is likely to begin on 23 March. Further predictions reveal that the Holy Month will last for 29 days.

Eid Al Fitr is then expected to fall on Friday, 21 April. Based on the Hijri Islamic calendar, official Eid holidays in the UAE will begin from 29 Ramadan to 3 Shawwal. If astronomical calculations are correct, we all can expect a break from 20-23 April 2023 – a long weekend!

Dates for Eid Al Adha were also announced. Dhul Hijjah is expected to begin on 19 June which means Eid Al Adha is likely to fall on 28 June. Arafah Day, which comes one day before Eid, is then expected to be on June 27.

The Eid break is likely to begin on 27 June to 30 June.
