This year, the celebrations will take place on <strong>Friday 6 June<\/strong>, with public holidays granted from <strong>Thursday 5 to Sunday 8 June<\/strong>. Residents and visitors will therefore be able to enjoy a <strong>4-day long weekend<\/strong>, synonymous with family gatherings, spirituality and moments of relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A spiritual festival at the heart of Islamic tradition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\u2019<strong>Eid al-Adha<\/strong>, also known as <strong>Feast of the Sacrifice<\/strong>, commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim\u2019s (Abraham\u2019s) submission to God and his ultimate act of faith. This period is deeply rooted in Islamic tradition and is one of the most sacred times for Muslims around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During these days of celebration, families get together to <strong>praying, sharing meals and doing charitable work<\/strong> towards the most disadvantaged. It is also an opportunity for many to renew their spiritual commitment and strengthen family and community ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An ideal opportunity to recharge your batteries and travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <strong>four consecutive days off<\/strong>, many residents of the Emirates are taking the opportunity offered by Eid al-Adha to <strong>treat yourself to a well-deserved break<\/strong>. Some choose to travel within the Emirates, taking advantage of special offers from hotels and resorts, and the many tourist activities on offer in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Ras Al Khaimah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others are taking the opportunity to organise <strong>trips abroad<\/strong>, particularly to nearby destinations such as Oman, the Maldives, Turkey and the Seychelles. Travel agencies traditionally see a sharp rise in bookings during this period, due to the flexibility offered by this long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A period also characterised by solidarity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the holidays and celebrations, Eid al-Adha is, above all, <strong>a moment of sharing and generosity<\/strong>. The tradition of sacrifice (Qurbani) enables meat to be distributed to families in need, serving as a reminder of the values of solidarity that underpin this celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many charities, mosques and community organisations in the Emirates organise <strong>fundraising and aid campaigns for the most disadvantaged<\/strong>, emphasising the importance of mutual support within Emirati and Muslim society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\u2019<strong>Eid al-Adha 2025<\/strong> looks set to be a <strong>a time of deep spirituality, family togetherness and well-being in the Emirates<\/strong>. With a long weekend from 5 to 8 June, residents have the opportunity to combine rest, celebrations and moments of togetherness in a peaceful and festive atmosphere. More than just a holiday period, Eid remains, above all, <strong>a time for reflection, generosity and the strengthening of the human values that unite the community<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Les \u00c9mirats arabes unis viennent de confirmer les dates officielles de l&rsquo;A\u00efd al-Adha 2025, l\u2019une des f\u00eates les plus importantes du calendrier islamique.
