The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (Mohre) declared late Tuesday, March 18, that all workers in the sector nationwide are entitled to this holiday. The ministry also stated that the holiday will be extended to Wednesday, April 2, if the holy month of Ramadan ends on the thirty-first day. Therefore, the Shawwal Moon sighting will determine how long the break lasts, possibly giving workers a four- or five-day weekend. Islamic months endure for 29 or 30 days, depending on when the Moon is visible.
On March 29, the UAE’s Moon Sighting Committee will start tracking the crescent. According to the Gregorian calendar, Eid holidays will fall on March 30, 31, and April 1 if the crescent is visible that evening. This means there will be a four-day break from Saturday to Tuesday.
On the other hand, Shawwal will begin on March 31 if the Moon cannot be seen and Ramadan has lasted 30 days. In this instance, residents will get an extended five-day break, encompassing the weekend (Saturday to Wednesday), as the Eid holidays are commemorated on March 31, April 1, and April 2. The Dubai Astronomy Group’s astronomical calculations indicate that Ramadan will probably last 30 days. This implies that inhabitants should take five days off for Eid Al Fitr.
