About United Arab Emirates Holidays
The UAE work week is Monday through Friday for government entities (changed from Sunday-Thursday in 2022). The private sector may still follow Sunday-Thursday in some cases. Islamic holidays (Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Islamic New Year, Prophet's Birthday) follow the Hijri calendar and exact dates are confirmed shortly before by moon sighting.
