Saudi Arabia announces Sunday as first day of Eid Al Fitr

The Royal Court of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has declared Sunday, March 30, 2025, as the first day of Eid Al Fitr for the new Islamic year 1446 AH.

The decision came after the crescent moon of Shawwal was sighted in several locations across the Kingdom, marking the end of Ramadan and the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal.

Eid Al Fitr will be observed across Saudi Arabia and around the world with special prayers on Sunday morning, followed by festive celebrations with family and community.
