Eid al-Fitr is a major Islamic holiday that marks the "Festival of Breaking the Fast" and the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan. In 2026, most countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Iraq, have officially confirmed that Eid al-Fitr will begin on Friday.
It is one of the two main festivals in Islam, the other being Eid al-Adha. It occurs on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic lunar calendar.
