Mark Your Calendar: Ramadan & Eid Al Fitr
Your Journey begins with the holy month of Ramadan in 2024, expected to start on March 11, 2024. After the full 30 days of fasting, Eid Al Fitr is predicted to grace us on April 10, 2024.
As we all know, Eid Al Fitr, a celebration following Ramadan, runs from Ramadan 29 to Shawwal 3 on the Islamic calendar. In the Gregorian calendar, this translates to April 8 to April 12. However, the exact duration of Eid Al Fitr depends on the moon sighting at that time.
Your Dream Getaway: 10 Days Off
Now, here’s how you can secure those 10 days off. The estimated public holiday for Eid Al Fitr will be from Monday, April 8th, till Friday, April 12th, and if you combine the 2 weekends that surround Eid Al Fitr – April 6th and 7th, as well as April 13th and 14 – this brings you to a sum total of 9 days off.
But now let’s take it one step further and round off that number to an even 10. All you have to do is take one official day off on Friday, April 5th, and you have just secured yourself a 10-day-long holiday where you can jet off to any destination in the world (even that Thailand trip you were planning). Now, this plan does reply on the moon sighting perfectly aligning with the weekend dates, so this can only be confirmed closer to the time of Eid Al Fitr. Better to stay prepared than miss an incredible opportunity such as this one.
So, there you have it, a smart way to plan your spring vacation, ensuring you get the most out of your well-deserved time off. All you need is a little strategic leave planning, and you’ll be enjoying an extended spring getaway. Start marking your calendar and get ready for the vacation of a lifetime!
