When Is The Next Eid Holiday?
With the post-long weekend blues kicking in, Bazaar shares everything you need to know about the upcoming remaining public and private holidays in the UAE for 2021
With the five-day Eid al-Fitr holiday officially done, many of us are already longing for another long weekend, counting down the days until the next public holiday. But the good news is the next public and private holiday is only a few weeks away.
Both workers in the public and private sector can expect to potentially have three days of holiday in July for Arafat (Haj) Day and Eid al Adha; July 19 – 22, 2021 is predicted to potentially be a holiday, meaning an extended break within the middle of the week will give everyone some much needed rest and relaxation during one of the hottest months of the year.
Estimated holidays likely to be declared for the rest of 2021 are expected to be as follows, (pending the sighting of the moon)
July 19 – 22, 2021: Arafat (Haj) Day and Eid al Adha
August 12, 2021: Al Hijri, Islamic New Year
October 21 2021: Birthday of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH)
December 1, 2021 – Commemoration Day
December 2 – 3, 2021 – UAE National Day
December 25, 2021 – Christmas Day
Back in 2019, the UAE government announced the unification of holidays for both the private and public sector.
