Frequently asked questions
What is the Hijri date today in the UAE?
Today’s Hijri date is shown at the top of this page in English and Arabic. It updates automatically every day.
Which Hijri calendar does this page use?

Why might the date differ by one day?
The start of important months like Ramadan, Shawwal (Eid al-Fitr) and Dhul Hijjah is confirmed in the UAE by moon sighting, so the actual date can occasionally differ by one day from the calculated calendar.
