About this calendar
In 2027, United Arab Emirates observes 12 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with UAE National Day (2nd) on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
The UAE switched its weekend to Saturday-Sunday in January 2022, breaking with the Friday-Saturday pattern still used by its neighbours. Federal government staff work Monday to Thursday full days plus a half day on Friday. Most of the private sector runs a standard Monday-to-Friday week.
