The holiday will run over Sunday December 2 and Monday December 3, meaning that both public and private employees will have four consecutive days off, including Friday November 30 and Saturday December 1.
The long weekend will mark the 47th UAE National Day, celebrating the union of the emirates on Sunday December 2. Commemoration Day, which normally takes place on November 30, will be observed a day earlier this year on Thursday November 29, but is not expected to be announced as a public and private holiday.
The UAE Cabinet approves the public holiday of the #UAE_National_Day_47 for public and private sectors on the 2nd & 3rd of December. Work will resume on Tuesday. The Cabinet congratulates the people of the UAE on this occasion. #UAEGov
