The majority of people across the UAE will have enjoyed a long weekend for Islamic New Year, but that hasn’t stopped us thinking about the next long weekend we can look forward to.
As we head into the final quarter of the year before you know it it’ll be 2021, and luckily there’s still a few public holidays to enjoy until then.
At the end of October, there’s another day off to look forward to, as well as three more in December.
Here’s a list of all the public holidays we can look forward to for the rest of 2020…
The Prophet Mohammed’s Birthday
The Prophet Mohammed’s birthday will fall on Thursday, October 29.
Commemoration Day
Commemoration Day honours the Emiratis who have sacrificed their lives to protect their country. On December 1, 2020, which falls on a Tuesday, there will be a day off, which is followed by UAE National Day (see below).
UAE National Day
Celebrating the unification of the seven emirates, there will two days off for UAE National Day on Wednesday, December 2 and Thursday, December 3. Combining these days off with Commemoration Day, this will mean a five-day weekend at the beginning of the final month of the year.
