Eid Al Fitr to be confirmed on Wednesday by Moon-sighting committee

Eid Al Fitr to be confirmed on Wednesday by Moon-sighting committee

The UAE Moon-sighting committee will meet Wednesday after Maghrib prayer to confirm Eid Al Fitr. The public is also called to help sight the Shawwal crescent. Astronomical calculations suggest Eid will likely be on Friday, making Thursday the final day of Ramadan. Remember, our Hijri calendar is based on the lunar cycle. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/2026/03/18/eid-al-fitr-to-be-confirmed-on-wednesday-by-moon-sighting-committee/

Let's wait for the official announcement, but looks like Friday inshallah. Ramadan flew by so fast this year!

Interesting they always ask the public to help sight it. Wonder how many people actually go out looking.
