When's the next long weekend in the UAE?
Now that we're back from four-day break for Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha, you might be wondering when are your next holidays coming. Let's take a look at what's left in this year's public holiday calendar. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DIANA SHEKHANY (@dianashex) The holiday period started with Arafat Day on Thursday, June 5, followed by Eid Al Adha celebrations from Friday, June 6 through Sunday, June 8. Since these dates lined up perfectly with the weekend, it was a nice long break for everyone. These dates were all part of the official 2025 public holiday schedule that the government announced earlier this year. So what's next? There are still three more public holidays to look forward to before the year ends. The next one up is Islamic New Year, which is expected to fall on Thursday, June 26. This one-day holiday marks the beginning of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. UAE Public Holidays 2025: How to plan your long weekends and extended breaks? Later in the year, we'll have the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) birthday, currently expected to be on Friday, September 5. The exact date will be confirmed closer to the time since it depends on the moon sighting. This is always a special day with various religious and community events happening across the country. Then to wrap up the year, we've got UAE National Day on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 2-3. This two-day break is always full of excitement with fireworks, concerts, and all kinds of patriotic celebrations across the Emirates. Since it falls mid-week, some people might choose to take a couple extra days off to make it a longer break. Eid Al Adha Escape Plan: 7 unusual getaways less than 4 hours from Dubai The government can sometimes move holidays to the start or end of the week to create longer weekends, but this doesn't apply to Eid holidays. If a holiday happens to fall on a weekend, we don't get an extra day to make up for it. Also, local governments can sometimes announce additional holidays for special occasions in their emirate. So there you have it – three more chances to relax and enjoy some time off before we ring in 2026. Whether you're planning a quick getaway, a staycation, or just some quality downtime, these upcoming holidays give you something to look forward to in the second half of the year. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Instagram & Feature Image: @dianashex
