We have some good news… and some not so good news.<\/p>\n

So under the direction of H Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the UAE Cabinet has announced the public holidays for 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n

And starting off with the bitter news first, UAE peeps will NOT receive an extra day off for New Year’s as Jan 1, 2021, falls on a Friday… *scowling at my screen as I’m typing this out*<\/em>.<\/p>\n

BUT! But, long public holidays in the coming year will range from 3 to 6 days! So that’s something to look forward to:<\/h2>\n

1. May 11- 15 Eid Al Fitr:<\/strong>
\nThe Eid Al Fitr break is likely to be observed from Tuesday, May 11, to Saturday, May 15, subject to moon sighting<\/p>\n

2. July 19 – 22 Eid Al Adha:<\/strong>
\nThe Eid Al Adha break will likely take place from Monday, July 19, to Thursday, July 22, followed by the two-day weekend<\/p>\n

3. August 12 -14 Hijri New Year:<\/strong>
\nResidents will enjoy a 3-day long weekend on the occasion of the Islamic New year on Thursday, August 12<\/p>\n

4. October 21 -23 birth of Prophet Muhammad:<\/strong>
\nThe 3-day weekend will take place from Thursday, October 21, to Saturday, October 23<\/p>\n

5. December 1 – 4 Commemoration Day + National Day:<\/strong>
\nThe last break of the year 2021 will run for four days from Wednesday, December 1, to Saturday, December 4<\/p>\n
