Eid Al-Fitr Holiday in Jordan Announced: Here Are the Official Dates

If you’ve been counting down the days to Eid, there’s good news! The official Eid Al-Fitr holiday in Jordan has been announced, which means you can start planning how you’ll spend your well-deserved break after Ramadan.

The holiday will begin on the morning of Friday, March 20, and continue until the evening of Monday, March 23. That gives you a long four-day break to celebrate Eid, visit family, or even plan a short getaway.

For many of us, Eid starts early in the morning with the Eid prayer, followed by visits to family and friends. It’s the perfect time for you to reconnect with loved ones, enjoy festive meals together, and exchange warm Eid wishes. Homes are usually filled with traditional sweets like maamoul, and children look forward to receiving their Eidiya. The long weekend also gives you the chance to explore more of Jordan. Many people use the holiday to take short trips to popular destinations like the Dead Sea or Aqaba, while others prefer relaxed gatherings at home with family.

So if you’ve been waiting for a break after a full month of fasting, this is it. With four days off starting March 20, you finally have the perfect excuse to celebrate, recharge, and make the most of Eid with the people who matter most.
