Residents of the UAE have 2 more long holiday weekends coming up this year. This is a great opportunity for residents looking forward to public holidays and long weekends while planning some private events or summer vacations.
With the Islamic New Year holiday now over, residents can enjoy the next long holiday from September 29 to October 1, the birthday of Prophet Muhammad. And next to this, residents can also enjoy a holiday for UAE National Day on December 2 and 3, the last holiday of the year.
Apart from these two, next year the longest holiday will be 9 days consecutive holiday. This is a good opportunity for most residents of the Emirates to pre-plan their annual leave to attend weddings or other events in their home countries.
For such annual trips, residents planning a long vacation can take advantage of the 9-day holiday for Eid al-Fitr in the first half of next year. Apart from that, next year’s Eid al-Adha festival will also have 5 consecutive days of holiday.
Based on astronomical calculations, the holy month of Ramadan in the UAE is predicted to begin on March 11, 2024, and is expected to last for 30 days. Hence, Eid al-Fitr is expected to be celebrated on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, according to astronomers.
Meanwhile, as far as the UAE is concerned, Eid al-Fitr holidays will be granted to public and private sector employees from Ramadan 29 to Shawwal 3. This means that employees can enjoy holidays from Monday, April 8 to Friday, April 12. Along with this holiday, residents can enjoy a total of nine consecutive days of holiday from April 6 to April 14, including the preceding and following Saturday and Sunday holidays.
Similarly, astrologers have also predicted that Eid al-Adha 2024 will begin on Monday, June 17. If Eid al-Adha falls on the declared date, employees in the UAE will get a five-day consecutive holiday from June 15 to June 19.
Therefore, it is worth noting that those planning to travel to their home countries for a short holiday or a long holiday next year can spend extra days with their families if they plan their trip with these dates in mind.
