Estimated using Hijri calendar conversion. Official Saudi moon-sighting announcements may change the date.
How long until Eid al-Adha in Riyadh?
The timer counts down to the expected 10 Dhul Hijjah date using Riyadh time. Eid al-Adha is the second of the two annual Eids and is distinct from Eid al-Fitr, which is on 1 Shawwal. Check the date and the event name together when planning travel, visits or time away from work.
The connection between Arafah and Eid al-Adha
The Day of Arafah is 9 Dhul Hijjah, immediately before Eid al-Adha on 10 Dhul Hijjah. The two dates are connected but are not the same day. The expected Gregorian date comes from a calendar conversion; the Saudi announcement establishing Dhul Hijjah remains the reference for the final religious dates.
