Longer break in Sharjah

In Sharjah, public sector employees will get a longer public holiday. Despite the fact that government employees will also have a break on Monday, December 1 and Tuesday, December 2, the decision means that they will enjoy a five-day holiday as Friday since they enjoy a usual three-day weekend falling on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Private and pubic school students in the emirate will also enjoy a longer break for Eid Al Etihad this year due to the same reason, while those from other emirates will be getting a four-day break.

The UAE's Ministry of Education also announced that private and public schools will get a holiday on December 1 and 2, which corresponds to Monday and Tuesday. Official working hours will resume from Wednesday, December 3.
