Eid Al Adha 2025 became even more memorable for some couples in the UAE as they welcomed their newborns during the early hours of the auspicious day, adding a deeper meaning to an already cherished occasion.
As the city awoke to the call of Eid prayers and the spirit of togetherness, joy, and sacrifice, these families were celebrating a more personal miracle -the arrival of new life.
The first Eid baby was born at 1.39am on June 6, 2025, at NMC Royal Hospital, Abu Dhabi. A healthy baby girl weighing 3.56kg was delivered through a natural delivery to Jordanian parents.
Baby Sila is the first child of Rehaf Mohamed Mansour, a housewife, and her husband Ibrahim Abdel, a computer engineer. The delivery was supervised by Dr Eman Sadek.

The baby, who weighed 3.680kg, was delivered via Cesarean section under the care of Dr Sunita Gupta.
