Eid is a very special period and holds deep spiritual significance for Muslims all over the globe. The festival is held annually on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, a day after Arafah (9th day of Dhul Hijjah of the Islamic calendar). Eid ul Adha is an auspicious day marked by prayers and celebrations involving families, friends, and the whole community.
To mark this occasion, the UAE has declared a four-day break, starting on Thursday, 5th June, 2025 and ending on Sunday, 8th June, with the Eid ul Adha festival falling on Friday, 6th June, 2025.
A remarkable day that celebrates the dedication of Prophet Ibrahim to Allah, the festival this year is even more special for the Muslim faithful. It falls on a Friday, meaning both the Eid and Jumuah prayers will happen on the same day — both activities hold deep spiritual significance to the Muslims. In the emirates across the UAE, the Jumuah and Eid prayers will be observed separately at the assigned times.

What to do on Eid in the UAE?
The practice on the day of Eid popularly known as the “Sunnah” is for Muslims to take their bath, wear their finest clothes, and head to the praying grounds or mosques shortly after sunrise.
Part of the activities on the days of Eid ul Adha is to sacrifice an animal (camel, sheep, cow), commemorating Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his only son in obedience to Allah. The slaughtered animal is then shared among family, friends, neighbors, and the community.
On the day of Eid, Muslims are enjoined to show love to friends, family, neighbors, and their communities. There are several activities to enjoy with family and friends on Eid day across the emirates. From sightseeing to cooking, organizing movie nights and parties, the fun is endless.
