Residents will enjoy a 3-day long weekend, making it the last long weekend of the year
The UAE has announced the official public holiday marking the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) for the private sector.
Private sector employees will get a paid holiday on Friday, September 29, 2023.
The holiday is followed by the usual Saturday-Sunday off, translating into a three-day weekend, similar to that of the public sector.
This would be the last long weekend of the year, as National Day holidays fall on December 2 and 3 — Saturday and Sunday.
Residents have enjoyed multiple long weekends in 2023, including a six-day break to mark Islamic holiday Eid Al Adha and a four-day one for Eid Al Fitr.
