As the Islamic festival of EidAlFitr draws near, anticipation rises across the UAE for a joyous celebration after a month of fasting during Ramadan. The UAE's Moon Sighting Committee is set to convene on Monday evening to scan the skies for the crescent moon, marking the conclusion of Ramadan and the commencement of Eid. If sighted, Eid will be observed on April 9; otherwise, festivities will commence on April 10.
