Eid Al Adha to start on 26th October
The Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Science has predicted the first day of Eid Al Adha (Feast of Sacrifice) will fall on Friday, October 26, UAE daily newspaper Gulf News reported.
“Based on astronomical calculations, October 25 will be the 9th of Dhu Al Hijja, Arafat Day, and consequently Friday will be the first day of Eid Al Adha,” Dr. Humaid Majol Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Union, was quoted as saying by Gulf News.
While the Eid Al Adha holidays are yet to be officially determined, the Ministry of Labour earlier announced that if Eid falls on October 26 as predicted by the Union, then October 25 will be a holiday for both private and public sectors.
Arafat Day, also known as the Waqfat Arafat, where Hajj pilgrims climb mount Arafat in Mecca, is always a holiday.
The length of the whole holiday remains unknown, but will likely last for three or four days.
Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi municipality has warned residents against publicly slaughtering animals this Eid Al Adha, urging them to visit the official abattoirs instead, UAE daily The National reported.
Those found slaughtering animals at homes, streets or public areas will face an AED500 ($136.12) fine.
Ritual sacrifice is part of the Eid Al Adha celebrations.

Yes the greenery does amaze you especially going from a barren desert like Qatar!
Would love to take any luggage but I am only transiting through Colombo.
Last time and the only time I went to Sri Lanka was for Christmas in 2008. Loved the hospitality and the country..:)
It is quite an interesting place not to mention very scenic and beautiful upcountry and the coastal areas. Having not been there in 5 years I've actually forgotten what many places looked like and in any case everything is much better now than before,though expensive!
Will save all the gifts to send back home for when my mom comes in December,Insha Allah. So brother Uk needn't bother himself!
But I've had relatives who have flown with them and schoolmates who have worked there as air hostesses and they have only good to say about it. Insha Allah shouldn't be a problem.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful vacation,bro. Barakhallahfeekum!
