When's the next long weekend after the Eid Al Adha holidays?
Now that we're looking forward to the four-day break for Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha in next week in June, 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 starts 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's 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

What are the next UAE public holidays after Eid Al Adha? Here are the big holidays of 2025
With Eid Al Adha bringing a welcome four-day weekend in early June, many across the UAE are already asking the next logical question: when's the next break? Whether you're hoping to travel, spend time with family, or simply hit pause, there's still more to look forward to this year. The UAE Cabinet has confirmed 12 official public holidays for 2025, and with Eid behind us, three are still to come. Here's a quick look at what's next and how to make the most of each one. Quick recap: Eid Al Adha in early June According to the moon-sighting committee, Arafat Day will fall on Thursday, 5 June, with Eid Al Adha beginning on Friday, 6 June. With regular weekends factored in, most UAE residents will enjoy a four-day break through Sunday, 8 June. This extended weekend marks one of the longest public holidays of the year, combining religious observance with a chance to unwind. 1. Islamic New Year – Thursday, 26 June Just a few weeks later, the UAE will mark the first day of Muharram, signalling the start of the Islamic New Year. While this is a quieter, more reflective occasion—often observed with prayer and family time—it also offers a smart opportunity for a long weekend. Since it falls on a Thursday, those who take Friday off as annual leave can enjoy another four-day break. 2. Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) Birthday – Friday, 5 September Known as Mawlid Al-Nabi , this holiday commemorates the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and lands on Friday, 5 September this year. It's traditionally observed through religious lectures, community events, and gatherings. The timing—on a Friday—naturally sets up a three-day weekend, providing a break just as the post-summer routine begins to settle in. 3. UAE National Day – Tuesday and Wednesday, 2–3 December The final—and perhaps most festive—public holiday of the year is UAE National Day, marking the unification of the Emirates in 1971. Falling on Tuesday and Wednesday, 2–3 December, this two-day celebration promises flag-waving parades, fireworks, concerts, and widespread festivities. If you're strategic, adding Monday and Thursday to your annual leave could transform the week into a five-day mini-vacation—perfect for a staycation or travel getaway to wrap up the year. A few things to remember Holiday shifts are possible: Except for Eid, the UAE government reserves the right to move holidays to the start or end of the week. No makeup days: If a public holiday falls on a weekend, it typically won't be compensated. Emirate-specific exceptions: Local governments may declare additional holidays for events unique to each emirate or institution. So while the year's major Eid holidays may be behind us, 2025 still holds a few more opportunities to unwind. Whether you're planning around spiritual observance, national pride, or simply in need of a break—mark those dates and plan ahead.
