Father's Day is observed in several Arab countries, including Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as in Uganda, every June 21. This date coincides with the summer solstice. Unlike Mother's Day, which was popularized in Arab countries by journalist Mustafa Amin in 1956 in Egypt, Father's Day does not feature large-scale celebrations. The holiday serves as a reminder for fathers to actively participate in the upbringing of their children, emphasizing that every child deserves love and attention from both parents. While mothers traditionally play a major role in child-rearing, Father's Day aims to encourage fathers to contribute to this important aspect of family life.
