Eid al-Fitr 2025 Dates in Egypt

In Egypt, the expected date for Eid al-Fitr in 2025 is announced to be Sunday, March 30. This date is determined by astronomical calculations, aligning with the usual practices of the region.

The sighting of the crescent moon will take place on the final night of Ramadan, which aims to confirm the exact timing of the Eid celebrations in Egypt.

Eid al-Fitr Holiday Schedule in Syria

Syria’s Council of Ministers has declared that the Eid al-Fitr holiday will commence on Sunday, March 30, 2025. The holiday will extend until Thursday, April 3.

This announcement was reported by the Syrian news agency “SANA”, indicating a clear holiday period for the public to celebrate Eid.

Ramadan 2025 Duration and Crescent Moon Sighting

For 2025, Ramadan is expected to last for 29 days, with Eid al-Fitr likely falling on March 30 in regions that rely on astronomical observations.

Countries insisting on the confirmed crescent moon sighting may experience a full 30-day Ramadan cycle, resulting in Eid taking place on Monday, March 31.

Partial Solar Eclipse and Its Impact

On the last day of Ramadan, a partial solar eclipse is predicted to occur, visible in parts of the western Arab world.

This astronomical event is expected to influence the visibility of the crescent moon for Eid determinations, thus affecting the timing of the holiday in various locations.
