The Dubai Government through its official announcement has designated 2025 Eid Al Fitr holidays for public sector staff members to celebrate this important Islamic festival. The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) published a circular revealing all dates along with specific conditions for this holiday period.
Official Eid Al Fitr Holiday Dates
The Dubai Government circular states that its affiliated departments and institutions with Dubai Government entities must observe a three-day holiday spanning from the first to third days of Shawwal 1446 AH. Official duties will begin again on 4th of Shawwal 1446 AH.
The holiday period includes the 30th day of Ramadan only when the Islamic month Ramadan reaches its maximum duration of 30 days. Official moon sightings will determine the dates between which workers can take their holiday during Shawwal and the end of Ramadan.
Who Is Affected?
The holiday impacts all personnel employed by the government in Dubai unless their work schedule includes shifts or they conduct essential public service management. The government departments responsible for maintaining service continuity during the holiday season will create schedules for exempt personnel to maintain delivery of essential services for residents and visitors.
Private Sector Holidays
The public sector announcement about Eid Al Fitr holidays will be followed by a distinct notification from the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) that focuses on private sector holiday arrangements. Private sector businesses usually follow public sector holidays though their dates might change according to business operations needs.
Eid Al Fitr stands as one of the essential Islamic festivals since it signifies the conclusion of Ramadan. The official Dubai Government declaration enables workers to make proper plans for festivities. People residing in the area together with visitors need to be aware about any forthcoming changes in public service timetables. Official government platforms should be the source for receiving additional information.
