With the dates of Arafah and Eid Al Adha now confirmed, the Sharjah government on Tuesday announced the official holidays for employees working in the emirate's public sector.

In an advisory, the local government's Human Resources Department said the public holiday will be from Dhul Hijjah 9 to 12 — or, in the Gregorian calendar, June 27 (Tuesday) to June 30 (Friday).


With Saturday and Sunday as part of the usual weekend, this translates into a six-day break for employees.

Similar holidays have also been announced for the UAE's private sector.
