- UAE National Day will be celebrated on Sunday, December 2 and Monday, December 3. When combined with the preceding weekend, it’s likely that UAE residents in the private sector will enjoy a three-day weekend, while the public sector can expect a four-day break.
- New Year’s Day falls on Tuesday, January 1 — with all residents set to enjoy a one-day mid-week public holiday.
