Pakistan and Muslims worldwide are preparing for Eid-ul-Adha 2026. Citizens are closely watching the expected holidays schedule. Many people are planning travel and family gatherings in advance.
Initial estimates suggest that people may enjoy four to five consecutive holidays. However, the final decision depends on the sighting of the Zul-Hijjah moon. The official announcement will confirm the exact dates.
Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad has stated that the moon sighting meeting will be held on May 17. The outcome of this meeting will determine the start of Eid-related holidays across the country.
If the moon is sighted on the expected date, Eidul Adha will likely fall between May 27 and May 29. In this case, the holidays could extend from Wednesday to Friday. With the weekend included, citizens may enjoy up to five days off.
On the other hand, if the month of Zul-Hijjah completes 30 days, Eid is expected a day later. This would place Eid on May 28 and 29. In this scenario, the holidays would last around four days including the weekend.
Authorities say the final holidays schedule will be officially announced after moon sighting confirmation. People are advised to wait for official updates before making travel plans.
Meanwhile, preparations for Eidul Adha are also underway in major cities. Special arrangements are being made to manage public gatherings and livestock markets during the festive period. These preparations aim to support smooth celebrations during the holidays.
In Karachi, the city administration has approved cattle markets at multiple locations ahead of Eidul Adha 2026. These markets will help citizens purchase sacrificial animals conveniently during the festive season and upcoming holidays.
Officials say that organized facilities will improve public convenience. Similar arrangements are expected in other cities to handle increased activity during Eid-related holidays.
As the festive season approaches, anticipation continues to grow. Citizens are waiting for the final announcement that will confirm the Eid-ul-Adha 2026 holidays schedule and allow them to plan accordingly.
