Eid al-Adha, also known as the “Festival of the Sacrifice”, is a major Islamic holiday celebrated in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This year, Eid al-Adha in the UAE fell on Saturday, June 15th to Tuesday, June 18th, 2024. The dates for Eid al-Adha are determined by the Islamic lunar calendar, so they vary from year to year.
The holiday commemorates Prophet Ebrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God. Muslims traditionally celebrate Eid al-Adha by attending prayers, sacrificing an animal (usually a sheep, goat, or cow), and sharing the meat with family, friends, and the poor. They also wear new clothes, exchange gifts, and visit relatives and friends.
Eid al-Adha is a public holiday in the UAE, so most businesses and government offices are closed. Many people travel to their hometowns or take vacations during this time.
