Holidays for the public sector will be announced by the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources, while holidays for the private sector will be confirmed by the Ministry of Human resources and Emiratisation. Official holiday dates will be confirmed by authorities closer to the expected dates.

If the dates are confirmed as predicted, then the private and public sector employees could get to enjoy 4 days off plus the two day weekend! so that’s July 19 till July 24.
