Eid Al Adha is set to be celebrated on July 31, as per predictions. This date may change depending on moon-sighting.
As per a unified calendar system announced earlier, private sector firms may also get these days off but the holidays have to be confirmed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).
The Muslim festival Eid Al Adha marks the conclusion of the important worship of Haj or pilgrimage to Mecca.
At the end of the Haj, Muslims throughout the world celebrate the holiday of Eid Al Adha (Festival of Sacrifice).
