Doha: Eid Al Fitr is usually a time of joy, gatherings, and community as the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end.
In Qatar, Eid 2026 will begin on Friday, March 20, according to the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs (Awqaf), after the crescent moon was not sighted on Wednesday evening. Thursday, March 19, marks the 30th and final day of Ramadan.
But this year, the celebrations will take on a quieter tone.
Traditionally marked by large outdoor prayers, family outings, and crowded public spaces, Eid Al Fitr in Qatar will instead be observed under unprecedented developments. Therefore, authorities have introduced precautionary changes to ensure public safety.
