Eid Al Adha is the second holy festival in Islam. It is observed by Muslims across the world to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's sacrifices. It also marks the end of the period of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, which is the birthplace of the Islamic religion. One of the Five Pillars of Islam requires every Muslim to perform the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime.

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait and other Arab nations have announced the celebration of Eid al-Adha on July 9.
