Get ready to commemorate the UAE National Day with a long weekend! Private sector workers in the UAE will enjoy paid public holidays on December 2 and 3 to mark the National Day festivities. While falling over the Saturday-Sunday weekend, these holidays won’t extend your break, but they offer a great opportunity to celebrate the country’s 52nd anniversary.
Unlike last year, where both private and public sector employees had an additional day off on December 1 for Commemoration Day, this year, December 1 is a regular working day. However, fear not – a three-day break awaits you at the end of the year.
Bid farewell to 2023 and welcome 2024 with a three-day break starting on January 1. This New Year’s Day falls on a Monday and is a paid holiday. Combine it with the Saturday-Sunday weekend, and you have a perfect opportunity to kickstart the new year.
Known as UAE Union Day, December 2 marks the National Day, commemorating the unification of the Emirates in 1971. As the country turns 52 this year, take this time to revel in the celebrations and reflect on the remarkable journey of the UAE.
Make the most of your holidays and join in the festivities as the nation comes together to honor its history and progress. Happy UAE National Day!
