The commencement of Ramadan in the UAE for 2024 is expected around March 11th, ending on April 10th, marking the onset of Eid Al Fitr. However, the official start relies on the sighting of the crescent moon.

Ramadan, a sacred month for Muslims, is a period of reflection and altered routines, marked by increased spiritual devotion and fasting.

During Ramadan, customary adjustments occur in the UAE, including shortened working hours, restaurant closures during daylight hours, and abbreviated school schedules. The specific working hours are typically determined by the government shortly before Ramadan.

Following Ramadan, Eid Al Fitr is celebrated, and calculations suggest it may fall on April 11th. If so, it could result in a nine-day break for workers in the UAE, spanning from April 8th to April 12th. Confirmation of public holidays and working hours is awaited from UAE authorities.
