President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has declared official Government holidays for Eid al-Fitr, as announced in Directive No. 6/2025 issued today.
The duration of the holiday will depend on the official sighting of the 1st of Shawwal 1446, as confirmed by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs:
If Shawwal 1 falls on Monday, March 31, 2025, Government holidays will be from March 31 to April 3, 2025.
If Shawwal 1 falls on Sunday, March 30, 2025, Government holidays will be from March 30 to April 3, 2025.
The President’s decision ensures uninterrupted holidays, allowing employees to spend more time with their families and celebrate Eid without disruptions. Government offices will reopen on Sunday, April 6, 2025.
This move aligns with the administration’s commitment to enhancing work-life balance while preserving religious and cultural traditions.
