The UAE has announced its last holiday for 2025, marking National Day.

The recent holiday commemorating the birthday of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) on Friday, September 5, provided a brief respite for both public and private sector employees in the UAE. As anticipation builds for the next break, attention turns to the year's final scheduled holiday.

UAE National Day Holiday

The upcoming national holiday in the UAE will celebrate National Day. Traditionally observed on December 2nd and 3rd, this occasion is recognized as a public holiday across various sectors.

In 2025, these dates conveniently fall on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Although two days are typically set aside to honor this event, specific details regarding the timing remain pending.

According to UAE's public holiday regulations, there is provision for adjusting holidays to align with weekends. This flexibility raises the possibility that this year's celebration might be moved to start earlier in the week for an extended break.

An official announcement confirming the exact dates will be made by authorities in due course. Many eagerly await this news to maximize their last official time off of the year.

This day, recently renamed Eid Al Etihad, marks a significant milestone-the founding of the United Arab Emirates in 1971. The union was initially forged between Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Fujairah before Ras Al Khaimah joined early in 1972.

The occasion is synonymous with national pride and cultural festivities including flag displays, parades, processions, as well as cultural performances that underscore the unity and heritage of this vibrant nation.
