Frequently Asked Questions

When is Eid al-Fitr 2027?

Eid al-Fitr 2027 is expected on Tuesday, 9 March 2027 (1 Shawwal 1448 AH) in most Arab countries, subject to moon sighting.

When is Eid al-Adha 2027?

Eid al-Adha 2027 is expected on Sunday, 16 May 2027 (10 Dhu al-Hijjah 1448 AH) in most Arab countries, the day after Arafat Day.

Why do Eid dates differ between Arab countries?

Hijri months begin with the sighting of the new crescent moon, and each country announces its own official sighting, so Eid can start one day apart between countries.

How long is the Eid holiday?

Eid holidays usually last between two and five days depending on the country; Saudi Arabia, for example, gives four days for each Eid.
