We sure are! And guess what? Planning for next year just got a whole lot easier because the UAE public holidays for 2025 have been officially announced. One of the many benifits of <a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.teachingnomad.com\/countries\/jobs-in-united-arab-emirates\/\">teaching in the UAE<\/a> is the number of holidays, both school and public, that are given and the travel opportunities this represents. Get ready to mark your calendars for some well-deserved time off!<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teachingnomad.com\/jobs\/destinations\/teach-in-uae\/\">UAE<\/a>, 2025 will have a minimum of 12 public holidays on the horizon. And if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Ramadan\">Ramadan<\/a> lasts 30 days, as it did in 2024, you might even enjoy an extra day off.<\/p>\n<p>The early unveiling of the UAE public holidays for 2025 came in May through the UAE&#8217;s official gazette after a thorough review of federal laws in the constitution. This proactive approach sets the stage for a smoother planning process and gives us something to look forward to next year.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, a new resolution, as part of UAE Cabinet Resolution No.27 of 2024, introduces changes in how certain public holidays will be announced starting next year. If a holiday falls on a weekend, a Cabinet decision could carry it to the beginning or end of the week, giving you that coveted long weekend. While this special treatment excludes Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha, it opens up the possibility of enjoying an extra day off when a public holiday coincides with a Saturday or Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>This resolution, influenced by reviews of labor relations, human resources, and public holidays, will officially kick in on Wednesday, January 1, 2025.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teachingnomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/uae-50346.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" alt=\"UAE\" class=\"wp-image-7192 size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While exact dates for some holidays are dependent on moon sightings, we do have a lineup of confirmed occasions to look forward to. Drumroll, please!<\/p>\n<p><strong>When are the UAE Public Holidays 2025:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>January 1, 2025: New Year\u2019s Day<\/li>\n<li>Ramadan 30 (if Ramadan is a 30-day month)<\/li>\n<li>Shawwal 1-3: Eid Al Fitr holiday<\/li>\n<li>Dhu Al Hijjah 9-12: Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha<\/li>\n<li>Muharram 1: Islamic New Year<\/li>\n<li>Rabi Al Awwal 12: Prophet Muhammad\u2019s (PBUH) birthday<\/li>\n<li>December 2-3: UAE National Day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Predicted UAE Public Holidays 2025:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New Year\u2019s Day: January 1, 2025<\/li>\n<li>Eid Al Fitr: March 31 \u2013 April 2, 2025<\/li>\n<li>Arafat Day: May 30, 2025<\/li>\n<li>Eid Al Adha: May 31 \u2013 June 2, 2025<\/li>\n<li>Islamic New Year: June 27, 2025<\/li>\n<li>Prophet Mohammed\u2019s birthday: September 1, 2025<\/li>\n<li>Commemoration Day: December 1, 2025<\/li>\n<li>National Day: December 2-3, 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that a public holiday can&#8217;t be rolled over if it coincides with another public holiday or a weekend. Additionally, local governments have the authority to approve additional official holidays beyond the national cabinet&#8217;s list.<\/p>\n<p>So, get ready to kick back, relax, and make the most of these upcoming holidays in the UAE.
