"May the festival of lights be the harbinger of joy and prosperity. As the holy occasion of Ramadan is here and the atmosphere is filled with the spirit of mirth and love, here is hoping this festival of beauty brings your way, bright sparkles of contentment, that stays with you through the days ahead."
The Philippine Embassy in Saudi Arabia will be closed from August 29 to September 3, 2011 according to the report the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) will organize an Open House for the end of Eid ul-Fitr, a three-day Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said it will also hold an annual Ramadan Quran Contest, which will feature memorization for children and for those under 18 years old.
“The Embassy will also be organizing an Open House for the Eid el-Fitr," it said in a news release posted on its website on Wednesday.
However in Dubai the first day of Eid Al Fitr appears to be on August 31, 201.
The Private sector Eid Al Fitr 2011 holiday dates in the UAE announced as Shawwal 1 and Shawwal 2, the first two days of Eid, which seems likely to be Wednesday 31 August 2011 and Thursday 01 September 2011 but that was not clearly stated in the announcement and might depend on a moon sighting.
