The New Year’s holiday may be over, but many of you, may have taken advantage of the opportunity for a five-day break. If you take leave on Thursday, January 2, and Friday, January 3, you will enjoy a five-day weekend by combining those days with the regular weekend.

April: Eid Al Fitr

The UAE Cabinet has announced that the Islamic festival, Eid Al Fitr, will offer up to four days of vacation for its inhabitants. The first three days of Shawwal, the month after Ramadan, will be vacations. If Ramadan lasts 30 days, the 30th day will be a holiday, while the first three days of Eid will be holidays.
People are likely to observe Ramadan between March 31 and April 2, as it starts on March 1 and ends on March 30. If you want to take time off on Thursday, April 3, and Friday, April 4, you will have nine days.

June: Arafah Day/Eid Al Adha

This year, Arafah Day, considered the holiest day in Islam, will be observed as a holiday on Dhul Hijjah 9.

Depending on moon sightings, officials project that Arafah Day will happen on Friday, June 6, which the government has already declared a public holiday.
