What's after Eid? UAE's next official holidays and remaining breaks in 2025
Three official public holidays remain in the UAE for 2025 after the Eid break/ Photo: pixabay With the Eid Al Adha break, a four-day weekend from Thursday to Sunday, now over, residents across the UAE have returned to work. While the festive break is behind them, many are wondering when the next public holiday will fall. According to UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 27 of 2024, issued in May, there are 12 official public holidays each year for both the public and private sectors. These include fixed national holidays as well as Islamic occasions, the exact dates of which depend on moon sightings. So far, several holidays have already been observed in 2025, including New Year's Day, Eid Al Fitr, and Eid Al Adha. However, three official public holidays still remain in the calendar for the rest of the year, and while exact dates for some are provisional, they give residents something to look forward to. What's coming up? The UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 27 of 2024, issued in May, confirms that there are 12 official public holidays each year for both the public and private sectors. While no holidays are immediately upcoming, these three major public holidays are expected later in 2025: Islamic New Year: Thursday, 26 June (one-day holiday) The first day of Muharram will be observed as a public holiday to mark the Islamic New Year. Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) Birthday: Friday, 5 September (one-day holiday) This holiday falls on the 12th day of Rabi Al Awwal. The exact date will be officially confirmed after the moon-sighting committee announces it. UAE National Day : Tuesday and Wednesday, 2-3 December (two-day holiday) The year will end with a mid-week celebration of the UAE National Day on these two consecutive days. Important Rules to Note According to the Cabinet resolution: Official holidays (except Eid holidays) can be moved to the start or end of the week by a Cabinet decision (Article No. 2). If a public holiday falls on a weekend or overlaps with another holiday, it will not be carried forward to another day (Article No. 3). Local governments have the authority to approve additional official holidays for their departments or institutions on special occasions (Article No. 4). As residents and workers look ahead, it's good to keep these dates in mind, while awaiting official confirmation closer to each occasion.

No letter received from UK MP Tulip, says B'Desh CA's Press Secretary on her meeting with Yunus
'We have been on Eid-ul-Azha holiday since June 5. We will depart for the United Kingdom at 7:30 pm on Monday. Since we have yet to receive the letter, there is no opportunity to comment on the matter,' the press secretary said. 'We have received no letter from her so far,' BD News quoted Chief Advisor's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam as saying on Sunday. Dhaka, Jun 9 (PTI) The Bangladesh Chief Advisor's Office has yet to receive the letter that former UK minister Tulip Siddiq sent, requesting a meeting with interim government head Muhammad Yunus. British MP Siddiq, in the letter, has sought a meeting with Yunus in London to clear up a 'misunderstanding' over corruption allegations against her. In the June 4 letter to Yunus, Siddiq asked for an opportunity to discuss the ongoing controversy during the chief adviser's visit to London next week. Yunus will meet King Charles and see Keir Starmer in Downing Street during his four-day visit to the UK from June 10-13. Siddiq said she hopes a meeting might 'help clear up the misunderstanding perpetuated by the anti-corruption committee in Dhaka that I have questions to answer about my mother's sister, the former prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina'. 'I am a UK citizen, born in London and representing the people of Hampstead and Highgate in parliament for the last decade. I have no property nor any business interests whatsoever in Bangladesh,' she said. 'I have sought to clarify this to the ACC, but they refuse to engage with my lawyers in London and apparently keep sending correspondence to a random address in Dhaka,' she said. Bangladesh's anti-corruption committee (ACC) claimed Hasina's niece, Siddiq, or her mother received a 7,200 sq ft plot of land through 'abuse of power and influence'. Siddiq has denied the allegations, with her lawyers describing them as 'politically motivated' and without foundation. She further claimed not to have been contacted by the authorities over any of the allegations, Prothom Alo reported. She was cleared of any wrongdoing by the adviser on ministerial standards, Laurie Magnus, but resigned as economic secretary to the Treasury and city minister over the 'distraction' being caused for Keir Starmer's new government. Siddiq claimed she was being targeted by a 'politically motivated smear campaign' orchestrated by Hasina's opponents. The British MP is yet to receive any response to the letter from Yunus or his office, BD News quoted a source close to Tulip as saying. According to the source, Tulip does not understand why the ACC is after her. Her aunt Hasina is currently in India. In her absence, the interim government is moving forward with proceedings against her for crimes against humanity. Last month, a warrant was issued in Bangladesh for Siddiq's arrest. She claims to have no knowledge of any such warrant or court hearings to which she was required to appear. As a 2B extradition country, the UK requires ministers and judges to see clear evidence from Bangladesh before they make an arrest decision. Arrest warrants have also been issued for Tulip's mother, Rehana, and her siblings, all of whom deny the allegations. PTI PY PY This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

‘Spirit of mutual respect will guide India, Bangladesh': Yunus replies to Modi's Bakrid greetings
The spirit of mutual respect and understanding will continue to guide India and Bangladesh in working for people's welfare, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Yunus' letter came in response to PM Modi's message conveying Eid-ul-Adha greetings to Bangladeshi people and the interim chief adviser. He posted both letters in an X post on Sunday. In his letter, he said that Modi's 'thoughtful' message 'reflects the shared values' between the two countries. The chief adviser also extended his wishes to the prime minister and the people of India. 'I am confident that the spirit of mutual respect and understanding will continue to guide our nations to work together for the wellbeing of our peoples,' he said in the letter dated June 6. Yunus added that the festival is a 'time of reflection, which brings communities together in the spirit of festivity, sacrifice, generosity and unity, and inspires us all to work together for the greater benefits of the peoples across the world'. In his letter dated June 4, Modi said the festival is an 'integral part of the rich and diverse cultural heritage of India'. He said it 'reminds us of the timeless values of sacrifice, compassion and brotherhood, which are essential in building a peaceful and inclusive world'.
