Eid prayer itself is usually brief—about 10 to 20 minutes for the prayer, while the full visit can be 30 to 60 minutes once the khutbah and greetings are included.

Typical timing

  • The prayer is 2 rakats and is usually held after sunrise and before noon.
  • Many mosques start it around 7:00–12:00 , often in the morning.
  • The sermon comes after the prayer, and that can add 10 to 30 minutes.

What affects the length

  • The imam’s pace.
  • The number of extra takbirs and how long people take between them.
  • Whether the mosque keeps the khutbah short or extended.

Practical expectation

If you are planning your day, a safe estimate is about half an hour total , and closer to an hour if you stay for the sermon and meet people afterward.

TL;DR

Eid prayer is short; the whole event is longer. Expect roughly 10–20 minutes for the prayer and 30–60 minutes total including the khutbah and social time.
