\u00a0Follow Lovin on WhatsApp<\/a>, and never miss a beat!<\/p>\nThe 54th UAE National Day will be held on Tuesday, December 2<\/h2>\n
This means the official days off in the Emirates will be December 2 and Wednesday, December 3. For many, that is a bit of a bummer, since it means Monday will be a working day and hence, no long weekend.<\/p>\n
But there is a law in place to make everyone happy! And not many know about it…<\/p>\n
The UAE public holiday law states that holidays can be moved around<\/h2>\n
So, all official public holidays in the country (besides Eid holidays) can be switched around to accommodate a long weekend. The law permits holidays to be moved to the beginning or end of the week to provide a longer holiday to residents.<\/p>\n
And what this means is that Monday, December 1, could be OFF too! Wohooo!<\/p>\n
Now the question is whether UAE residents will get a four-day or five-day weekend<\/h2>\n
If the public law is considered, and Monday is given off instead of Wednesday, then UAE residents will enjoy a four-day weekend (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday).<\/p>\n
But the best news is that there is also a chance that Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday are off. And if this happens, it will mean five days of party!<\/p>\n
It is more likely, however, that the December 3 holiday would move to Monday and, instead, we would get a four-day holiday when combined with the weekend. Long weekend loading…<\/p>\n
