Plan your break with our guide to the Eid Al Adha 2023 public holiday dates.
As we progress through the year, many residents are wondering when is the next UAE public holiday in 2023.
Following the Eid Al Fitr long weekend in April, both the public and private sector can look forward to Arafat Day in June, then the Eid Al Adha 2023 for a break to rewind, explore the country, or travel out of the UAE.
Take note of these dates, and get ready to plan your next long weekend!
When is Eid Al Adha 2023 in the UAE?
This year, Eid Al Adha, also known as the Islamic festival of sacrifice, is expected to start on Tuesday, June 27th.
However, as with all Muslim holidays, the actual dates will be announced closer to the date as it is dependent on moon sightings.
The festival occurs around 70 days after the final day of Ramadan, and it is seen as the most holiest of the two Eid holidays. Eid Al Adha is marked on 10th of Islamic month Dhul Hijjah.
Are there any other public holidays left for 2023?
Yes, there are! After Eid Al Adha, the UAE has four more breaks in commemoration of Islamic New Year, Prophet Muhammad’s (Peace Be Upon Him) birthday, Martyrs' Day, and finally UAE National Day.
According to UAE officials, Hijri New Year (Islamic New Year) will take place on Friday, July 21, 2023, so public and private sector employees who have day-offs on Saturdays and Sundays can expect a three-day weekend.
The same also goes for Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) birthday, which will fall on Friday, September 29, 2023.
