Get ready to mark your calendars and start planning for a wonderful break! The UAE has officially announced the dates for Eid Al Adha 2024, and it promises a long weekend that many are eagerly looking forward to.
This year, Eid Al Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” falls on Sunday, June 16. The announcement comes after the Dhul Hijjah moon was sighted in Saudi Arabia on the evening of June 7, making June 7 the first day of Dhul Hijjah.

Public sector employees in the UAE will enjoy a four-day weekend, starting from Saturday, June 15, to Tuesday, June 18. This holiday period, from 9 to 12 Dhul Hijjah, offers a perfect chance for everyone to unwind, relax, and celebrate the holy occasion with their loved ones.
This Eid Al Adha break is particularly special as it’s the last extended weekend before the UAE National Day in December, so make sure to make the most out of it!
With the dates now confirmed, it’s a great time to finalize your plans. Popular destinations and hotels are likely to book up quickly, so if you’re considering a getaway or a staycation, it’s wise to make reservations soon
