However, the official first day of Eid Al-Fitr has not been confirmed yet. Like every year, the final announcement will depend on the crescent moon sighting conducted by Dar Al-Iftaa. The moon sighting is expected to take place on the evening of March 19, which will determine whether Eid begins the next day.<\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p>So if you&#8217;re already planning your Eid outings, gatherings, or even a short getaway, you now have a clearer idea of the holiday schedule. Just keep an eye on the moon sighting announcement for the final confirmation of Eid\u2019s first day. Eid preparations across Egypt usually include family visits, festive meals, and plenty of sweets like kahk. With several days off ahead, make the most of the long break to celebrate the holiday spirit.<\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Enjoyed this article?
