The UAE government has announced that all public and private sector entities will observe a holiday for Eid-ul-Fitr.
The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources confirmed that federal ministries, institutions, and public sector organizations will be on holiday from March 19 to 22, with regular working hours resuming on March 23.
For private sector employees, the holiday will run from March 19 to 21, and it may extend to March 22 if Ramadan lasts the full 30 days. The decision follows the moon sighting and marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, reflection, and community gatherings.
Authorities have encouraged citizens and residents to plan their travel and festive activities accordingly, ensuring that public services and government operations resume smoothly after the holiday period.
