Saudi Arabia has officially announced that Eid al-Fitr, the festival marking the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, will begin on Friday, March 20, 2026.
The announcement follows the non-sighting of the crescent moon, which means Ramadan will complete 30 days this year. The first day of Shawwal, the month following Ramadan, will therefore mark the start of Eid celebrations.
Eid al-Fitr is one of the most important festivals in the Islamic calendar, celebrated with special prayers, festive meals, acts of charity, and family gatherings.
Saudi Arabia’s official confirmation ensures that public holidays and festivities for Eid will start on Friday, giving citizens and residents the chance to prepare for the celebrations.
