Expected dates for Eid Al-Fitr holiday in Jordan 2025
According to these estimates, the 29th of Ramadan, which corresponds to March 29, 2025, falls on a Saturday.
This will be the designated day for moon sighting, which determines the first day of Shawwal and the start of Eid al-Fitr.
If the moon is sighted on Saturday evening, the holiday is expected to begin on Sunday, March 30, 2025, and continue through Tuesday, April 2, 2025, covering the three main days of Eid. There is also the possibility of adding Thursday, April 3, as a fourth day, in line with Jordanian customs.
If the moon is not sighted on Saturday evening, then Monday, March 31, may be the first day of Eid. In that case, the holiday would run from Monday to Wednesday, April 2, with Thursday, April 3, potentially added if the government announces this in its official statement.
It is important to note that Saturday, March 29 (29th of Ramadan) will not be part of the official holiday, as it is a regular workday for some sectors in both the public and private spheres. The official moon sighting results, announced by authorities such as the Department of Fatwas, will confirm the final holiday schedule.

Over 2,700 new voluntary subscribers join SSC in H1 2025
Ammon News - The Social Security Corporation (SSC) reported that 2,783 people subscribed voluntarily for the first time during the first half of this year, bringing the total number of active voluntary subscribers to 107,279 by the end of the same period. In a response to inquiries by the Jordan News Agency (Petra), the SSC explained that voluntary subscription is an important mechanism for individuals who are not compulsorily covered to complete their insurance rights. The program is available under specific conditions, including that the applicant must be Jordanian, aged between 16 and 60 for men or 55 for women when applying for the first time, not compulsorily insured through any job, and must not have received any social security benefits such as old-age pension, early retirement, lump-sum compensation, or total or partial disability benefits. The SSC noted that this option targets broad segments of society, especially expatriate Jordanians, housewives, and insured individuals who have left their jobs and need to complete the required contributions to qualify for a future retirement pension. Voluntary subscribers are covered under old-age, disability, and death insurance, and the same provisions apply to them as to compulsory subscribers. They must pay a monthly contribution of 17.5% of their declared insured wage, which must not be less than JD 290. The SSC added that applications can be submitted electronically via its official website, mobile application, or the government's Sanad app, with no documents required. Payments can be made through eFAWATEERcom, exchange offices, or banks.
