      UAE 2025 confirmed holidays for public and private sectors

      UAE holidays 2025: A comprehensive guide.

      The UAE Cabinet has recently unveiled the official holidays for the upcoming year, 2025. Both the public and private sectors can anticipate a series of well-deserved breaks, including several long weekends.

      Major Islamic Holidays

      The year will kick off with the traditional observance of Gregorian New Year on January 1st, a Wednesday. This will be followed by the eagerly awaited Eid Al Fitr, a three-day celebration whose exact dates will be determined by the moon sighting. To accommodate a 30-day Ramadan, an additional day may be added to the Eid Al Fitr holiday.

      Another significant Islamic holiday, Eid Al Adha, is scheduled for three days in the month of Dhu Al Hijjah. The specific dates for this celebration will also be confirmed based on lunar observations. Additionally, one day each is allocated for Arafat Day and the Islamic New Year, Muharram 1.

      Other Notable Holidays

      For those celebrating the life and teachings of Prophet Mohammed, the calendar includes a day off on Rabi Al Awwal 12. Moreover, the UAE government has designated December 2nd and 3rd as holidays to commemorate the nation’s history and celebrate the 54th UAE Union Day.

      Estimated Gregorian Calendar Dates

      To assist in planning vacations and leave, it’s helpful to have a general idea of the Gregorian Calendar dates corresponding to these Islamic holidays. Based on astronomical predictions, Ramadan is expected to begin on Saturday, March 1st. Consequently, Eid Al Fitr is likely to fall between Monday, March 31st, and Wednesday, April 2nd. Arafat Day is anticipated on Friday, May 30th, leading to Eid Al Adha celebrations from Saturday, May 31st, to Wednesday, June 2nd. The Islamic New Year is projected to occur on Friday, June 27th, and Prophet Mohammed’s Birthday is expected on Monday, September 1st.

      Important Considerations

      It’s important to note that these are estimated dates, and the actual dates may vary slightly depending on the precise moon sightings. Furthermore, if any of the official holidays fall on a weekend, they may be carried over to the beginning or end of the week, with the exception of Eid holidays.

      Planning Ahead

      By understanding the anticipated holiday schedule, individuals and businesses can effectively plan their leave and activities throughout the year. It’s also advisable to stay updated on any official announcements closer to the holidays, as there might be minor adjustments or additional information provided.
