Planning your leave

- Keep travel bookings flexible until the moon-sighting and holiday announcements are final.
Eid ul-Adha celebrations
The day normally begins with congregational prayer, followed by qurbani for those observing it. Meat is shared with family, friends, and people in need. Families visit one another, prepare festive meals, and support charitable distribution.
Travel during the Eid period
Roads, railway stations, bus terminals, and airports can become busy as people travel home. Book transport through authorised sellers, check baggage rules, and confirm departure times before leaving. Domestic leisure destinations may also see higher demand once the holiday dates are confirmed.
