Key UAE Public Holidays in 2024
After New Year’s Day, the first key holiday to look out for is Eid al Fitr, which immediately follows Ramadan. Astronomers predict that Ramadan will begin on Monday March 11, 2024. If this is accurate, Eid al Fitr will fall on Wednesday April 10, 2024. UAE workers can enjoy a six-day weekend if this occurs.
