The year’s longest break to mark Arafat Day — considered the holiest day in Islam — and the Eid Al Adha festival will begin on Tuesday, June 27. With the Saturday-Sunday weekend, UAE residents will get a six-day holiday.
Muslims across the UAE will offer special prayers on the first day of Eid, which is on Wednesday, June 28.
Mosques and large open spaces called Eid musallahs host the special prayers shortly after sunrise. The prayer spaces typically remain open from the Fajr prayer. Khaleej Times can reveal the timings of the prayer in some Emirates:
-Dubai: 5.50am
-Sharjah: 5.47am
