Eid al-Adha Tentative Date Announced for Saudi Arabia
National Holiday To Be Observed for Two to Three Days
Tentative Date Set for July 7th
Saudi Arabia has announced tentative dates for the upcoming Eid al-Adha national holiday. The holiday, which commemorates the end of the Hajj pilgrimage, is expected to be observed for two to three days, beginning on July 7th. The exact dates will be confirmed closer to the holiday.
Eid al-Adha is one of the most important holidays in the Islamic calendar. Muslims around the world celebrate Eid al-Adha by sacrificing an animal, typically a sheep or goat, and distributing the meat to the poor. The holiday is also a time for family gatherings, feasting, and prayer.
In Saudi Arabia, Eid al-Adha is a public holiday. All government offices, schools, and businesses will be closed during the holiday. Many Saudis also take this opportunity to travel to Mecca or Medina for the Hajj pilgrimage.
The tentative date for Eid al-Adha in Saudi Arabia is subject to change. The final dates will be determined by the sighting of the new moon.
