Following the 50th anniversary of UAE holiday will be on January 1, 2022, to commemorate New Year’s Day. However, because it falls on a Saturday, a long weekend is not in the cards.
Residents will have to wait nearly five months for the Eid Al Fitr public holidays to take a long break. Official dates for the public and private sectors are subject to confirmation by the government.
Here is the full list of UAE public holidays for 2022:
- January 1: New Year
