The UAE Cabinet has officially announced the national holidays for both the public and private sectors for the year 2024. The first public holiday of the year will be New Year’s Day, followed by the festival of Eid Al Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.
It’s important to note that some of these holidays are based on the Hijri Islamic calendar, so their Gregorian dates will depend on the moon-sighting. Meanwhile, the next public holiday for this year will be National Day, falling on December 2 and 3.
Here is a breakdown of the holidays for 2024:
– January 1: New Year’s Day
– Ramadan 29 to Shawwal 3, 1445 AH: Eid Al Fitr
– Dhu Al-Hijjah 9, 1445 AH: Arafat Day
– Dhu Al-Hijjah 10 to 12, 1445 AH: Eid Al Adha
– Muharram 1, 1446 AH: Islamic New Year
– Rabi’ Al-Awwal 12, 1446 AH: Prophet Mohammed’s birthday
– December 2 to 3: National Day
