Eid Fitr 2023 dates in Dubai & the UAE
The exact date of Eid al-Fitr is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon, which appears one day after the new moon. This process can only be performed under the cover of night. If the crescent moon is not sighted, Ramadan continues for another day.
Assuming Ramadan begins on 23 March, which falls on a Thursday, the 30-day annual fast would end on 22 April, a Saturday, and Eid al-Fitr would begin on the same day. However, the official dates for the Holy month are announced by a moon-sighting committee closer to the time.
