UAE public holidays for 2024: dates announced; 13 days off and 4 long weekends

The UAE Cabinet released a list indicating that citizens would have at least 13 UAE public holidays in 2024. With a six-day vacation being the longest, four of the seven formal events will convert into longer weekends.

These holidays are taken on top of the thirty yearly leaves that employees are entitled to each year. The bulk of foreigners living in the United Arab Emirates utilize their yearly leave to visit their home countries, according to several surveys on travel undertaken in recent months. People set aside public holidays and the long weekends that accompany them for international or domestic getaways.

The majority of the dates that were revealed on Tuesday matched the Islamic calendar. We have calculated the Gregorian calendar dates for 2024 using the Hijri calendar, which is available on the Dubai Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) website. This can help you plan ahead more effectively.

Hijri calendar months have either 29 or 30 days in length, based on when the moon is visible as a crescent. The relevant authorities will make an announcement closer to the event regarding the actual dates based on this.

Residents of the UAE will have a long weekend to start 2024. January 1st is a Monday, making it the first official holiday of the year and a three-day weekend. This means that on New Year’s Eve of 2024, you get to sleep for a whole day.
