No… we’re not crying, YOU ARE!!

The 4-day-long much-needed weekend in the UAE has officially come to an end and we’re already looking forward to the next set of holidays.

UAE residents were spoiled silly this celebratory long weekend with fireworks, drone shows, sales, fountain shows, projection shows, AMAZING WEATHER, non-stop entertainment and now the people have to wait another 5 months for another stretch of public holidays.

To be fair, the next public holiday is on January 1, in celebration of New Year’s Day. However, Jan 1 falls on a Saturday, which is already a non-working day for a majority of UAE residents.
