DUBAI: The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources has officially declared the Eid Al Fitr holidays for public sector employees across the country. According to the announcement, the holiday will commence from the 29th of Ramadan and continue until the 3rd of Shawwal. The specific dates may vary depending on the official moon sighting, which will determine the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan and the start of the Islamic festival of Eid. Employees in federal government institutions will be granted these days off to observe the occasion and spend time with their families.
Eid Al Fitr, known as the “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, prayer, and reflection for Muslims worldwide. The celebration begins with a special prayer performed in congregation at mosques and open prayer grounds. It is a time of joy, gratitude, and generosity, with people engaging in charitable acts such as giving Zakat Al Fitr to support those in need. Families and friends come together to share festive meals, exchange gifts, and extend greetings of goodwill. The holiday fosters a spirit of unity and social harmony, strengthening bonds within the community.
Government institutions and offices will remain closed during the Eid break, allowing employees to participate fully in the festivities. Essential public services, however, will continue to operate, ensuring that citizens and residents have access to necessary support. Authorities have also advised the public to plan their activities accordingly, as increased travel and gatherings are expected during this period. Various events, including cultural performances and entertainment activities, will be held across the country to enhance the celebratory atmosphere.
The Federal Authority has extended its warmest wishes to all employees and citizens, emphasizing the importance of Eid Al Fitr as a time for reflection, renewal, and togetherness. As families reunite and communities celebrate, the occasion serves as a reminder of the values of compassion, gratitude, and solidarity. Authorities encourage everyone to enjoy the holiday responsibly while adhering to safety measures to ensure a peaceful and joyous celebration for all.
