While here in the UAE we were just treated to a three-day weekend to mark Hijiri New Year, we couldn’t help but wonder what the dates of the public holidays will be for the rest of the year.
So you can plan ahead, here’s a round-up of when you can expect the public holidays in the UAE to fall throughout the rest of 2021.
As always, the final and official dates and public holiday eligibility for public sector employees and private sector employees are always determined by UAE authorities.
