As the anticipation builds for the upcoming Eid al Fitr holiday in 2024, UAE residents are eagerly awaiting what could potentially be a substantial six-day break. Here’s what you need to know about this exciting prospect.
Anticipated Dates for Eid al Fitr
According to astronomers’ projections, the first Eid of 2024 is expected to grace the calendar in April, following the conclusion of Ramadan. The holy month of fasting, Ramadan, is predicted to kick off on Monday, March 11, 2024. Based on these forecasts, Wednesday, April 10, is likely to mark the commencement of Shawwal and Eid Al Fitr for the year.
Official Confirmation Pending
While the UAE government has already shared tentative dates for the 2024 Eid al Fitr holiday, the final confirmation will come closer to the time through Moon-sightings, in line with Islamic tradition.

Traditionally, Eid al-Fitr holidays span from Ramadan 29 to Shawwal 3 in the Islamic calendar. If Eid 2024 indeed falls on April 10, then Tuesday, April 9, will be observed as Ramadan 29, and Friday, April 12, will be designated as Shawwal 3 in the Gregorian calendar. This alignment suggests that residents can expect four consecutive days off from Tuesday, April 9, to Friday, April 12. Moreover, factoring in the weekend following the holiday period, individuals could potentially enjoy a total of six days off.
Extended Break Possibility
For those yearning for an extended break, booking Monday, April 8, off work could result in an expansive nine-day holiday, offering ample opportunity for rest, relaxation, and exploration.
Predicted Eid al Fitr 2024 Dates
Here are the predicted dates for Eid al Fitr 2024:
- Tuesday, April 9 (Ramadan 29)
