Earlier in the day, UAE leaders performed Eid Al Fitr prayers to mark the end of Ramadan.
Eid Al Fitr, also known as the “festival of breaking the fast”, is one of the most important events in the Islamic calendar.
It is celebrated by Muslims all over the world and marks the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan.
Over the past three years, the UAE has observed strict measures to combat the spread of Covid-19 during Eid Al Fitr.
This is the first year worshippers have been able to come together and celebrate the festival without precautionary measures, such as social distancing or face masks, since the outbreak.
