The announcement comes soon after the UAE Government declared the holidays for ministries and federal entities.
UAE employees in the private sector will also get similar holidays, according to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (Mohre).
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.
