Kuwait is gearing up to celebrate Eid-ul-Adha 2025 with an official five-day public holiday, following the traditional crescent moon sighting that marks the beginning of Dhul Hijjah 1446 AH.
This holiday announcement, made by the Kuwaiti government and supported by astronomical projections from the Al Ojairi Scientific Center, is expected to provide residents with an extended break from June 5 through June 9, 2025. The official workweek will resume on Tuesday, June 10.
