The UAE's next long weekend might be closer than you think
News by Sarah Joseph July 3, 2025 Before the UAE National Holiday, another one-day holiday for residents can be closer than you think. One of the key dates in the 2025 UAE public holiday calendar is the Prophet Muhammad's birthday (PBUH), which falls on the 12th day of the Islamic month of Rabi' Al-Awwal. The birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) will be the next public holiday in the UAE. Believed to be on Rabi Al Awwal 12, residents will get an extra one-day off, potentially leading to a long weekend in September. The next public holiday in the UAE is expected to be the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), likely falling on September 4 or 5, 2025. Thanks to a new law allowing holiday shifts, residents could enjoy a relaxing three-day weekend. When is Prophet Muhammad's Birthday in 2025? If Rabi' Al-Awwal begins on Monday August 25, then the Prophet Muhammad's birthday (PBUH) should fall on Friday September 5. This would give Dubai residents a three-day long weekend when combined with Saturday and Sunday. However, if Rabi' Al-Awwal begins on Sunday August 24, then Prophet Muhammad's birthday (PBUH) should fall on Thursday September 4. This would give Dubai residents an additional day off during the working week. When are the next holidays? This being said, more holidays are set to come later in the year, including Commemoration Day and National Day in early December. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Abu Dhabi Mosque

Louth man avoids jail after assault at Mexican Independence Day party
Ostap Oleksyn (34), Oaklawns, Dundalk, pleaded guilty to charges of robbery, assaulting a male causing him harm and production and possession of weapons. A charge of attempted robbery was taken into consideration. The defendant, who has no previous convictions, compensated his victim to the tune of €5,000. He had a kitchen knife and an imitation firearm. There was some laughter among the partygoers on production of the gun as it was perceived as not real. On September 16, 2022, people were celebrating Mexico's National Holiday at a party in a residence in Chapel Street, Dundalk. At 3am most had gone when Mr Oleksyn was seen in the room with what appeared to be a gun and a knife. It was relatively apparent that the gun was an imitation and there was laughter on its production. He told everyone to empty their pockets. One man 'pushed back'. The injured party suffered cuts to his hand. Gardaí who arrived on the scene recovered CCTV footage. The gun was described as a realistic imitation firearm. No Victim Impact Statement was made. The defendant was arrested in Oaklawns at 7.45am on the following September 27 and initially charged with assault causing harm when brought before the district court and granted conditional bail. Judge Dara Hayes said that Mr Oleksyn was originally from Ukraine and in Ireland 21 years at the time. He had two children and worked in his father's shop in Dundalk. He came from a decent family. He had addiction issues. There were clear urinalysis reports. He was assessed at moderate risk of reoffending. He had not taken 'street tablets' in close to two years. ADVERTISEMENT A probation report continued that he had a relaxed view on drugs. He had linked in with Turas Counselling Service and after inconsistent attendance had reengaged. Judge Hayes remarked that his rehabilitation was slower that it should have been. Two-and-a-half year sentences were imposed on each of four charges, suspended in their entirety for two-and-a-half years, on Mr Oleksyn placing himself under probation supervision for 12 months.
