Eid Al Fitr prayer timings across the GCC countries

Dubai: As Ramadan comes to a close, most countries in the GCC have confirmed that tomorrow, Sunday, March 30, 2025, will mark the first day of Eid Al Fitr, meaning that Ramadan has completed 29 days.

However, Oman has confirmed that Monday, March 31, will be the first day of Eid, with tomorrow being the last day of Ramadan, as the moon-sighting committee was unable to spot the crescent of Shawwal.

In preparation for the Eid celebrations, thousands of mosques, open prayer grounds, and public squares have been designated across the Gulf countries to accommodate millions of worshippers expected to attend the early morning Eid prayers.
