On the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, the Ministry of Human Resources in the United Arab Emirates granted an official vacation for all employees who are involved in private sector work across the country. This vacation was provided in conjunction with the holiday. This holiday is observed by all employees working in the private sector across the country.
On the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation made the announcement that all employees working in the private sector of the country would be given a paid vacation during the period of time beginning on the 29th of Ramadan and concluding on the 3rd of Shawwal, 1444 AH. This period of time would begin on the 29th of Ramadan and continue until the 3rd of Shawwal. The 29th of Ramadan would mark the beginning of this vacation, and it would last until the 3rd of Shawwal. This day is equivalent to the 29th of June when the Julian calendar is converted to the Gregorian calendar. This event is held in honor of Eid al-Fitr, which is a holiday observed by Muslims to mark the beginning of the month of Ramadan.
Earlier, the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources announced the same holiday period for the public sector.
The exact starting date of Eid will be decided by the UAE's moon-sighting committee.
It will mean a long weekend for private sector employees across the Emirates.
Employees will enjoy a five-day break if the duration of Ramadan is 30 days and will return to work on Tuesday, April 25.
If Ramadan is 29 days, the Eid holiday will last four days.
