Quick answer: Eid Al Fitr 2027 is expected on 9 or 10 March, subject to moon sighting. The holiday is 3 days, or 4 if Ramadan has 30 days, which can create a six-day break (9 to 14 March) with the weekend. Taking a few days of leave stretches this to 9 or more days. Book flights and hotels as soon as dates firm up, because Eid is among the busiest travel windows of the year. Last verified: 17 October 2026.
Expected Dates and Leave Planner
| Scenario | Eid Day 1 | Public Holiday | With Weekend |

| Ramadan 30 days | 10 March 2027 | 9 to 12 March (30th Ramadan also a holiday) | Up to 6 days (9 to 14 March) |
Ramadan is expected to begin 8 February 2027. Dates depend on official moon sighting, so keep bookings flexible.
Leave tip: If the break runs 9 to 14 March, taking 3 working days of leave after it could extend the trip. Confirm your employer’s rules.
