Ramadan Begins on March 1, in the UAE This Year

The holy month of Ramadan with all its barakah begins on 1 March, 2025 as the UAE Moon Sighting Committee announces it today after Maghrib prayer. The month of Ramadan begins with reflection, and spiritual rejuvenation as every Muslim around the world observes fasts during this month. Depending on the sighting of the next moon, the holy month will last for 29 or 30 days, followed by Eid Al Fitr celebrations which will mark a four to five day public holiday in the UAE.
Ramadan Work Hours in UAE:
Working hours have been reduced during Ramadan to make it easier for public and private sector employees to cater to work. Public sector employees will work from 9:00 am till 2:30 pm. The timings for private sectors have changed according to the flexibility of the companies, some have reduced two hours while others have reduced just an hour from their daily working hours. We all look forward to receiving peace and blessings during this holy month.
