UAE residents will enjoy a public holiday for Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) birthday this weekend
UAE authorities have announced that this Sunday, 15 September will be officially declared as a pubic holiday for Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) birthday.
Over the last number of weeks we were all wondering when we could potentially get a break from work, and over the weekend it was finally confirmed.
Life in the UAE often feels like a busy cycle of work and with unforeseen holidays sometimes disrupting plans, many people were eagerly awaiting confirmation of the next official day off.
In 2024, the UAE has/had a lineup of eight public holidays, including major events like Eid-Al-Fitr, Arafat Day, Eid-Al-Adha, and Islamic New Year.
Among these, the Prophet’s Birthday (PBUH), known as Mawlid al-Nabi, is scheduled for 15 September, 2024.
This day is significant in the Islamic calendar, honouring the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Public holidays in the UAE are cherished moments when businesses, government offices, and institutions close their doors, allowing families and friends to come together.
These days off are not just about relaxation; they play an essential role in fostering social harmony and national pride.
