Eid al-Fitr 2027 is expected on **Tuesday 9 March** in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and most countries, and on **Wednesday 10 March** in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (checked 2026-10-20). The moon decides the final day, so write "this Eid" in your ads and leave the date out until it is confirmed.

## Dates in detail

| Where | Eid al-Fitr 2027 (expected) |
|---|---|
| Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt | Tuesday 9 March |
| UAE | Tuesday 9 March if Ramadan runs 29 days, Wednesday 10 March if it runs 30 |
| India, Pakistan, Bangladesh | Wednesday 10 March |

Sources: [Wego](https://blog.wego.com/ramadan-2027/) (April 2026) and [The National](https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/2026/10/06/ramadan-2027-uae-dates-eid-al-fitr-holiday/) (updated 6 October 2026). Some Indian holiday calendars list Tuesday 9 March, so treat India's date as the least settled. The moon is looked for on the evening of Ramadan 29, which is Monday 8 March in most countries. Ramadan itself starts on 8 February in the Gulf and 9 February in India (see [Ramadan ad ideas](/campaigns/ramadan-ad-ideas)).

## Timing plan

| When | What to run |
|---|---|
| First weeks of Ramadan (from 8 Feb) | Preview the Eid collection, wish-list ads, pre-orders |
| Last ten days (from about 28 Feb) | Main push: outfits, gifts, sweets, "delivered before Eid" |
| Chaand Raat (the night before Eid) | Local and same-day delivery, store pickup, last-minute gifts |
| Eid days | Family visits, Eidi gifts, restaurants, short trips |
| After Eid | Thank-you offers, then pivot to the next event |

The UAE's three Eid holidays can stretch to four days if Ramadan has 30 days, according to The National. Travel and stay brands should plan around that break.

## Angles by category

| Category | Idea |
|---|---|
| Fashion | New outfits for the whole family, sizes and returns shown clearly |
| Gifting | Eidi for kids, gift sets, digital gift cards |
| Fragrance and beauty | Attar and perfume gift boxes, mehendi and salon bookings |
| Food | Sweets and dry-fruit boxes, restaurant tables for family meals |
| Home | Guest-ready décor and tableware |
| Travel | Short breaks, staycations |

## A delivery cut-off, worked out

Say your courier takes three days. Eid could fall as early as Tuesday 9 March, so parcels must arrive by Monday 8 March. Count back three days and the last safe order is Friday 5 March. Add a day of buffer and stop "delivered before Eid" ads after Thursday 4 March.

## Mistakes to avoid

- Hard-coding one date for India and the Gulf, when they may be a day apart
- Promising delivery across the Eid break, when couriers may be shut
- Re-using Ramadan creative. Eid is a celebration, so the tone should change
- Skipping a review by someone from the community, who will spot what you miss
- One ad for three weeks; rotate versions to avoid [ad fatigue](/guides/how-to-fix-ad-fatigue)

Eid comes right after [Women's Day](/campaigns/womens-day-ad-ideas) on 8 March. Gulf brands also have [Mother's Day](/campaigns/mothers-day-ad-ideas) on 21 March. For copy that stops the scroll, try the [ad hook examples](/templates/ad-hook-examples).

## FAQ

### When is Eid al-Fitr 2027?

Expected on Tuesday 9 March in most countries and Wednesday 10 March in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The final date depends on seeing the moon.

### Do India and the Gulf celebrate on the same day?

Often they are a day apart, because moon sighting is local. Make separate ads or leave the date out.

### When should Eid ads start?

Start soft previews when Ramadan begins on 8 February. Put the main push in the last ten days.
