When is Eid-ul-Fitr 2022 in Dubai?

Ever since the third quarter of Ramadan has passed, everyone has been curious to know when Eid-Al-Fitr 2022?

With everything going ‘back to normal,’ ever since the COVID break in 2020, the year 2022 had been a busy start. People have been waiting for long holiday breaks to rejuvenate themselves and spend time with their loved ones.

Eid has been the most awaited festive break of the year. People look forward to celebrating the day with enthusiasm and plan to spend their eid holidays meeting family and friends and going to new places.

The holy month of Ramadan commenced on April 2, 2022, in the UAE. According to the lunar cycle, Ramadan 1433 Hijri Year is expected to last for 30 days, and Eid-ul-Fitr is likely to fall on Monday, May 2, 2022. 

Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated across the entire UAE and begin at sunset on Sunday, May 1. The Eid namaz will be offered on the morning of May 2.

The eid holidays are paid holidays for both public and private sector employees.

What is Eid-ul-Fitr?

Eid-ul-Fitr marks the month-long fasting from dawn to sunset in the holy month of Ramadan. It is celebrated for 1 to 3 days around the world. Ramadan is one of the most important months in the Islamic calendar. 

Eid rounds off the month of Ramadan to acknowledge Allah’s revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad. The month serves as a great reminder to the Muslims to be grateful for everything and share what they have with the less fortunate. At the end of the holy month, Muslims celebrate and gather with friends and family to show gratitude toward Allah.

Muslims gather on the day of Eid to offer the eid namaz and begin the day with greetings. From good food, clothing, gathering, and savoring to planning vacations, Eid is about everything. 

Is Eid-ul-Fitr- Less than a week away from the next long weekend holiday in Dubai?

So, Eid is already around the corner, and we can see the hustle and bustle around the entire UAE. The Eid preparations are at their peak, and people are planning for picnics and short vacations to spend time with their loved ones.

Earlier, UAE had to work Sundays with Fridays and Saturdays off. However, since Jan 2022, UAE has adopted the policy of a shorter workweek with a Friday half-day; Saturday and Sunday are the new weekends. Residents can more freely plan their breaks and travel across the UAE.
