If the thought of the weekend being quite close gets you happy then our news will make you very happy.<\/p>\n

We’ve just heard that Eid Al Adha, the second Eid (also known as Sacrifice Feast), could very likely fall around the weekend this year making it a long break for the private and public sector.<\/p>\n

Since the Islamic calendar is based on moon sighting, the\u00a0UAE and Saudi Arabia\u00a0moon-sighting committees will meet on 1\u00a0September\u00a0to announce Haj and Eid dates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eid Al Adha holidays usually begin on the day of Arafat which is a\u00a0day before Eid<\/h3>\n

If\u00a0Arafat
\nDay will be marked on Sunday, 11\u00a0September, then\u00a0the private sector
\ncould have a five-day break (including the weekend)\u00a0from 9 September to 13
\nSeptember.<\/p>\n

However, if\u00a0Arafat Day will be marked on Saturday, 10
\nSeptember, then the\u00a0private sector will probably have a four-day break
\n(including the weekend)\u00a0from 9 September to 12 September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There will be a dry night as well…<\/h3>\n

If the moon sighting committee announces the first day of\u00a0Eid Al Adha as 10 September, then bars, restaurants and hotels probably\u00a0won’t serve alcohol from that evening until sunset on the following day. And the same licensing restrictions will apply if Eid Al Adha is announced for 11 September.<\/p>\n

Note: the above is dependent on the moon sighting committee’s announcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If the thought of the weekend being quite close gets you happy then our news will make you very happy.
