The Abu Dhabi government on Tuesday announced the list of public holidays planned for 2017.
"The following list shows the public holidays in the UAE for the year 2017. The official reference to determine Islamic occasions, such as the beginning of Ramadan or Haj, is the Hijri Calendar. It is based on the phases of the moon. Hence, the exact dates of Islamic events vary from one Gregorian year to another as they depend on the local sightings of the moon," the announcement reads.
All federal ministries, public departments and institutions will be closed on the following holidays:
