This year’s Eidul Azha is bringing a longer and more exciting break for people, giving them more time to celebrate, relax, and spend moments with family and friends.
According to the expected schedule, the first day of Eid will be observed on May 27, followed by the second day on May 28, and the third day on May 29. These three days will be marked with traditional Eid celebrations, including prayers, family gatherings, visits to relatives, and the sharing of meat from sacrificed animals. People will also enjoy festive meals and social events during this period, making it one of the most important religious and cultural occasions of the year.
But the holiday period does not end there. After the three days of Eid celebrations, the weekend further extends the break. Saturday and Sunday follow right after, giving people additional time to rest and enjoy their holiday mood without immediately returning to work or daily routines.
Altogether, this creates a long and continuous holiday stretch. For many people, it will feel like nearly five days of break, depending on the official office and school schedules. This extended time off offers a great opportunity for families to travel to their hometowns, plan short trips, or simply enjoy quality time together at home.
Markets, roads, and recreational spots are also expected to remain busy during these days, as people make the most of their extended holidays. Many families use this time to reconnect with relatives, host gatherings, and participate in community activities.
Overall, this Eidul Azha holiday period is set to bring extra joy and relaxation, as the combination of Eid days and the weekend allows people to enjoy an extended festive break.

Earlier, the National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) had banned vehicles carrying sacrificial animals from entering motorways ahead of Eidul Azha to ensure public safety and smooth traffic flow.
In a statement, an NHMP spokesperson said overloaded, unfit, and poorly loaded vehicles often cause traffic accidents and congestion on motorways. Because of this, authorities will divert such vehicles to alternative routes.
