UAE Ramadan 2024: Changes in working hours for public and private sectors

Life

As the anticipated arrival of Ramadan 2024 approaches, the UAE gears up for adjustments in working schedules across both public and private sectors.

Private Sector Adaptations

In response to the forthcoming holy month, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has mandated a reduction of two working hours per day for employees in the private sector. Emphasizing flexibility, companies are encouraged to adopt remote or flexible working arrangements, aligning with the reduced daily hours during Ramadan.

Public Sector Shifts

For public sector employees, fasting and non-fasting alike, ministries and Federal government entities will observe revised working hours. Starting from Monday to Thursday, working hours will be from 9 am to 2:30 pm. On Fridays, a shortened schedule will be implemented, with work spanning from 9 am to 12 pm.

As the Islamic calendar operates on lunar months, the precise start date of Ramadan hinges on the sighting of the moon in a specific phase. While astronomical calculations indicate a likely commencement on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, official confirmation from UAE authorities is pending. Stay tuned for updates on What’s On as we await confirmation of these dates.
