UAE private-sector employees will enjoy a two-day holiday on December 2 and 3 for UAE National Day, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has confirmed. The announcement follows the confirmation of a three-day holiday for public-sector employees on November 13.
Residents hoping to extend their break can take annual leave on Friday, December 4, turning the holiday into a five-day getaway, including the weekend. Known as Eid Al Etihad, UAE National Day is celebrated on December 2 to commemorate the historic union of the country's seven emirates.
