Weather of Arabia - Eid Al-Adha is considered the second Muslim holiday after Eid Al-Fitr, and the first days of Eid Al-Adha begin on the day immediately following the day when the pilgrims of the Sacred House of God stood on Mount Arafa in Makkah Al-Mukarramah on the ninth of Dhu Al-Hijjah, so Muslims enjoy the participation of the pilgrims in their joy in completing the Hajj. The atmosphere of Eid is filled with joy, pleasure and solidarity among the members of the same community.

The following is the expected date of Eid Al-Adha for the year 2023, and the dates of official holidays in the Arab countries.

The date of Eid Al-Adha 1444 / 2023

Eid al-Adha begins every year on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah (the 12th and last month of the Hijri year), i.e. immediately after the day of the Arafah stand, which is on the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah, and Eid al-Adha extends for four days (that is, until the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah).

The crescent of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah will be sighted on Sunday (29 Dhu al-Qi’dah), corresponding to June 18, 2023, and according to astronomical calculations this year, sighting of the crescent of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah will be possible on Sunday evening, as the central conjunction (the central conjunction) will occur on Sunday at 04:00. 37 UTC, God willing, and therefore Monday, June 19, 2023 will be the beginning of the month of Dhul-Hijjah. God knows

Thus, Tuesday, June 27, will be the day of standing at Arafah , and Wednesday, June 28, the first day of Eid al-Adha.

It should be noted that the Arab and Islamic countries do not differ on the date of the blessed Eid Al-Adha at all, because it relies on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to investigate only to see the crescent of the month of Dhul-Hijjah every year, due to its full supervision of the start of the Hajj rituals on its lands.
