(Daily Point) — Residents of the United Arab Emirates are in for a delightful surprise this year as they anticipate the joyous celebrations of Eidul Fitr, eagerly awaited throughout the year.

The government of the UAE has officially declared an extended holiday period from April 8 to April 12 to mark the occasion. These five days of festivities will commence right after the weekend and conclude just before the following weekend.

With the Eid holidays strategically placed between two weekends, UAE residents will be granted the luxury of a nine-day break, spanning from April 6 to April 14. This generous holiday period offers ample time for people to immerse themselves in the celebrations and spend quality time with their loved ones.

Similarly, Pakistan, like other Gulf nations, will also observe Eid holidays, providing individuals with a well-deserved break from work. This year, Eid is anticipated to fall on either April 10 or 11. The official Eid holidays in Pakistan will extend from April 10 to April 12, followed by the weekend. This extended five-day Eid holiday period allows people to fully embrace the spirit of the occasion and participate in festivities with enthusiasm and joy.
