Eid Al-Adha, the highly anticipated festival of sacrifice, is just around the corner for residents in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This occasion brings along a fantastic opportunity for a well-deserved break, as UAE residents can look forward to a generous six-day vacation.
Based on astronomical calculations, Eid Al-Adha is most likely to occur on 28 June. However, it is worth mentioning here that the exact dates may vary depending on the sighting of the moon.
