The UAE is granting a generous three-day weekend to federal government employees in celebration of UAE National Day.
From Saturday, December 2, to Monday, December 4, employees will enjoy a well-deserved break, with Friday, December 1 designated as a remote-working day.
Simultaneously, the private sector will observe a two-day public holiday, with paid leave on Saturday, December 2, and Sunday, December 3. However, for those accustomed to a traditional Saturday-Sunday weekend, the extended break may not materialize.
We announce that 2nd & 3rd December 2023 will be a paid public holiday for private sector workers in the UAE on the occasion of the 52nd UAE National Day.
We extend our sincere congratulations to our wise leadership, citizens and residents of the UAE on this occasion.#MoHRE… pic.twitter.com/rjpBFvZ6Rl
