About Eid Al Fitr
The breaking of the fast at Eid Al-Fitr brings Ramadan to an end when communities come together to mark the occasion.
Worshippers congregate at mosques and wish each other “Eid Mubarak”, which means blessed festival.
Eid Al Fitr is a public holiday in the UAE and the amount of days off depends on the sighting of the moon.
The fast is usually broken with traditional foods such as dates, biryani, sweet vermicelli, baklava, kunafa, Arabic coffee, tea and much more.
Emiratis have a tradition where they typically visit the eldest person’s household in the family to celebrate. Children often receive gifts and cash to mark the occasion.
