This means that Friday, April 12, 2024 is a public holiday

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) had announced that Monday, 29 Ramadan (8 April 2024) to 3 Shawwal (or what is equivalent to it in the Gregorian calendar) would be a paid holiday for all employees in the private sector across the UAE on the occasion of Eid Al Fitr.

Ramadan has lasted 30 days this year. It all depends on the moon sighting, and 2024 was predicted to be a 30-day-long fasting period.
