UAE Eid Holidays 2025: Get Ready for Some Serious Long Weekends!
Hey everyone! Get ready for a fantastic year of long weekends in the UAE! The official 2025 holiday calendar, signed off by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum himself, is looking pretty amazing. We're talking loads of public holidays – perfect for some serious R&R, or maybe even a quick getaway.
So, What Are We Looking At? (Dates TBC!)
Now, remember, some of these dates are still TBC (to be confirmed) because they depend on the moon sightings for the Islamic holidays. But here's what we're anticipating for 2025:
- January 1st: New Year's Day (Wednesday) – A classic way to start the year!
- March 30th - April 2nd (likely): Eid Al Fitr – This one's a bit tricky because it depends on when the moon is sighted. It could be a four-day break, maybe even five! We'll know more as the date gets closer. Keep an eye on the official announcements.
- May 30th - June 2nd: Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha – A solid four-day weekend to look forward to!
- June 27th: Islamic New Year (Friday) – Fingers crossed for a long weekend here too!
- September 1st: Prophet Muhammad's Birthday (PBUH) (Monday) – A really important day for so many.
- December 2nd - 3rd: Eid Al Etihad – A nice little two-day mid-week break to break up the year.
For the most up-to-date information, you should check the official Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation website: www.mohre.gov.ae They're the best source for confirmed dates.
Eid Al Fitr: Time to Book That Trip!
With Eid Al Fitr likely falling around March 30th to April 2nd, it’s already looking like a busy one for travel. I hear travel agencies are reporting a massive jump in bookings, especially for family holidays. Places like Azerbaijan, Georgia, and various spots across Europe seem to be very popular. If you're thinking of getting away, don't wait around! Book your flights and accommodation well in advance, especially if you need a visa.
Planning Ahead is Key!
2025 is shaping up to be a year packed with opportunities for long weekends and getaways. Seriously, it's going to be amazing! So, get those vacation plans in order, folks. The earlier you start planning, the better your chances of snagging those dream flights and accommodations at the best prices. Let’s make 2025 a year filled with wonderful memories.
