With Eid Al Adha just around the corner, the UAE is alive with activity as preparations for this important festival take shape. Known for its deep spiritual and cultural significance, Eid will grant residents a welcome four-day holiday from Thursday, June 5, to Sunday, June 8. This year, Eid Al Adha falls on Friday, June 6– coinciding with the weekly Jumuah prayer , making for a rare and meaningful overlap.
As reported by the Khaleej Times, the UAE Fatwa Council has clarified that the Eid and Friday prayers will be held separately, each at its usual time, and will include their own sermons.
Here’s a detailed look at the confirmed prayer timings across the emirates and what worshippers can expect on this special day.
Eid Al Adha prayer timings for 2025
As per the Khaleej Times, Eid prayers are traditionally held shortly after sunrise. Based on local Hijri calendar calculations and standard prayer schedules, the timings for Eid Al Adha prayers across the UAE are as follows:
Abu Dhabi – 5:50 AM
Dubai – 5:45 AM
Sharjah – 5:44 AM
Ajman – 5:44 AM
Umm Al Quwain – 5:43 AM
Ras Al Khaimah – 5:41 AM

Clarification on Eid and Jumuah prayers
Since Eid Al Adha and Jumuah prayers fall on the same day this year, the UAE Fatwa Council has confirmed that both will be held separately, with neither replacing the other. Worshippers are encouraged to attend both prayers, each accompanied by its own sermon.
What happens on Eid morning
On Eid morning, the day usually starts with an early visit to the mosque or prayer ground. People of all ages– men, women, children, and the elderly– gather to offer the special Eid prayer together. After the prayer and sermon, they exchange greetings and well-wishes.
A significant part of Eid Al Adha is the sacrifice of livestock, honoring Prophet Ibrahim’s readiness to obey a divine command. The meat from the sacrifice is shared with family, friends, and those in need, highlighting the spirit of charity and compassion.
Eid Al Adha 2025 in the UAE will be marked by a four-day public holiday, early morning prayers, and time-honoured traditions. With the official prayer timings now confirmed across all emirates, preparations are well underway for one of the most meaningful days in the Islamic calendar. As always, residents are encouraged to follow local prayer schedules and community guidelines during this important occasion.
