United Arab Emirates has 12 public holiday dates in 2027, 4 of them on a weekend.
The UAE list (Cabinet Resolution No. 27 of 2024) applies to both the public and private sectors: New Year’s Day, Eid al-Fitr (1–3 Shawwal, plus 30 Ramadan when Ramadan has 30 days), Arafat Day, Eid al-Adha (10–12 Dhu al-Hijjah), Islamic New Year, the Prophet’s Birthday and National Day on 2–3 December.
Islamic holidays follow the moon sighting. The Cabinet may move New Year, Islamic New Year, the Prophet’s Birthday, Arafat Day or National Day to the start or end of the week; the two Eids are never moved. The weekend is Saturday and Sunday.
Commemoration Day (30 November / 1 December) is a day of remembrance, not a public holiday.
