UAE Residents Could Be Getting A 5-Day Break If Eid Al Fitr Falls On May 2
Now that we’re in the middle of Ramadan, it’s a bit easier to predict when Eid Al Fitr will fall and how many days off work we can get! This is perfect if you want to travel and plan your break ahead of time. Flights are predicted to be pricey so with the predicted dates, you can book in advance.
The Emirates Astronomical Society (EAS) announced that Eid Al Fitr is possible going to fall on May 2 – WAM
Ibrahim Al Jarwan, EAS’ Board Chairman, said that the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar is predicted to fall on Monday, May 2nd, 2022.
UAE residents could get a 4 or 5-day break for Eid Al Fitr this year
The UAE moon-sighting committee will convene to confirm the official starting date for Eid. Ramadan is either 29 or 30 days long and it began on April 2 with the month being 30 days long. Time to do some math.
If Ramadan is 30 days long this year, the first day of Eid will be on May 2 which gives UAE residents will a 5-day break from Saturday April 30, to Wednesday May 4. But if Ramadan lasts for 29 days (Eid being May 1), residents will get a 4-day break from Saturday April 30, until Tuesday, May 3.
Whether it’s 4 or 5 days, that’s a pretty lengthy vacation and the perfect amount of time to unwind!
