But perhaps somebody who is more informed about muslim traditions could shed some light on this...
Yes, the first Eid comes at the end of Ramadan and will start on June 25 or June 26. It depends if the moon is sighted (not necessarily the same day in every GCC country). The Eid holiday in Qatar was 11 days long last year, not a month.
