Ramadan began on Tuesday, 13 April and now that we’re halfway through, many are anticipating the dates for Eid Al Fitr. It was announced only this morning that UAE federal government employees will have a four or five day break for this upcoming Eid.

According to the Federal Authority For Government Human Resources, the break will be from Ramadan 29 to Shawwal 3.

Therefore if Ramadan lasts 29 days, there will be a four day break from Tuesday, May 11, to Friday, May 14.

However if Ramadan lasts 30 days, there will be a five-day break from Tuesday, May 11, to Saturday, May 15.

It was also revealed yesterday that there will be fireworks in the capital for Eid that’ll run for three days.

Life in the city is slowly (but surely) returning to normal in honour of Eid celebrations!Â
