When is Eid Al Adha in Saudi Arabia?

Arafat is a day on which Prophet Mohammed gave his last sermon on mount Arafah. In this sermon, Prophet Mohammed said that the Islam faith is now perfected. On this day pilgrims partaking in Hajj spend the day on the mountain asking for forgiveness and making supplications.

Eid Al Adha is celebrated over a span of three days during which people are encouraged to spend time with their friends and family. Believers will spend time praying and possibly sacrifice an animal to God or pay money to organisations who will sacrifice an animal on their behalf.
