ANNOUNCED: 4-day UAE public holiday after #Ramadan

A four-day public holiday for Eid al-Fitr has been announced by UAE officials.

The break is expected to start on Tuesday June 4 – the last day of Ramadan– depending on moon sighting.
It will then run for three further days, meaning the possibility of a five-day weekend for workers who get Friday and Saturday off.
According to an announcement by the government earlier this year, the holiday will apply for both public and private sector officials.
Meanwhile, the government suggests the dates for the Eid Al-Adha holidays will be between Friday August 9 and Monday August 12.
