Those residing in the Emirates will get to enjoy a four-day holiday with the upcoming traditions observed.
Emirates observes two holidays towards the end of November and the first week of December- the Martyr’s Day and the National Day holidays.
This year UAE will observe Martyr’s Day on Thursday, November 30, while National Day will be observed on Saturday, December 2, according to the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department of the Government of Dubai.
Traditionally, the UAE government has given a one-day holiday for Martyr’s Day, and a two-day break for National Day. If the trend continues, the residents of UAE will earn a four-day holiday- Thursday (Martyr’s Day), Friday (weekend), and Saturday and Sunday (two-day holiday for National Day).
The previous year, the public sectors enjoyed a holiday from the 1st of December and resumed work on the 4th, whereas the private sector’s holiday was on December 1st and 2nd.
In 2015, UAE residents had enjoyed a five-day holiday. Tuesday, December 1, was the Martyr’s Day holiday, and the next two days — Wednesday and Thursday — were observed as National Day holidays. This was followed by a two-day weekend.
