Government employees in Sharjah will get a five-day weekend, local authorities confirmed last week.
They will get paid holidays on December 2 and 3, Monday and Tuesday, with regular operations resuming on December 4, Wednesday, the emirate's human resources department said. In Sharjah, because the official weekend is from Friday to Sunday, employees in the public sector will enjoy a five-day long weekend.
This year's National Day celebration — the 53rd — has been named Eid Al Etihad, which symbolises the 'union' (Etihad) and marks the unification of the Emirates on December 2, 1971. The theme is central to the country's “identity, symbolising heritage, unity, strength, and national pride”.
The official Eid Al Etihad celebrations — usually attended by the country's Rulers and leaders — will be held amid the "breathtaking natural landscapes" of Al Ain.
