The last public holiday of the year, government employees in the UAE will get a 4-day weekend for this year’s National Day celebrations, now called Eid Al Etihad.
December 2 and 3, Monday and Tuesday, will be paid holidays for those working in the public sector, the UAE Government announced on Friday.
When combined with a Saturday-Sunday weekend, the National Day break becomes a four-day weekend.
Regular working hours at ministries and federal entities will resume on Wednesday, December 4, the government said.
A unified holiday policy implemented in the country for both public and private sector workers ensures all employees get equal number of breaks throughout the year.
